Sign in, pick a nickname, and get ready to post.
My SunShines now supports Firebase Auth with email/password, phone sign-in, and Google sign-in. Nicknames are saved to each member profile so the feed can show friendly names instead of emails.

Signed in as member

Photo gallery
A social gallery for the sky above us.
Instead of family-memory wording, My SunShines is now shaped around photographers sharing sunrise, sunset, moon, stars, clouds, storms, and space-inspired images.
Sunrise
Morning light
First light, foggy fields, golden rays, quiet roads, and the start of a new day.
Sunset
Evening glow
Colorful horizons, silhouettes, clouds, reflections, and last-light moments.
Moon
Lunar shots
Full moons, crescents, moonrise, moonset, and night photos with lunar light.
Space
Stars & deep sky
Milky Way views, star trails, planets, eclipses, telescopes, and space art.
Mobile camera upload
Open the site on your phone and take the shot right there.
This demo lets someone pick a photo or open their phone camera. On a real build, the photo would upload to Firebase Storage, create a post in Firestore, and enter the voting feed.
- Camera capture on mobile
- Gallery picker fallback on desktop
- Preview before posting
- Ready to connect to Firebase uploads

How it works
Share, browse, vote, and rise on the leaderboard.
The public page now shows the idea: a sky-photo social site. The next version can use Firebase Auth, Firestore, and Storage for real accounts, uploads, comments, and one-vote-per-user rules.
Upload or snap a sky photo
People use their phone camera or gallery to submit sunrise, sunset, moon, storm, cloud, or space photos.
Vote for favorites
Visitors tap vote on the images they like best.
Feature top shots
The most-loved photos can appear on the homepage, weekly winners, or category leaderboards.
Community prompts
Give people reasons to look up and share.
Prompts can keep the community active: best sunrise of the week, favorite moon photo, storm clouds, sunset reflections, eclipse shots, and backyard astronomy.
“Best sunrise this week”
“Moon photo challenge”
“Sunset colors leaderboard”
Build roadmap
From static preview to real photo-sharing platform.
Mobile camera uploads
Let users open the camera, take a photo, preview it, and upload it directly from their phone.
Real voting
Store votes in Firestore, prevent duplicate votes, and show live totals.
Social features
Add accounts, profiles, comments, featured shots, category feeds, and weekly winners.
Submit photos
Send sunrise, sunset, moon, and space photos.
For now, this button can collect early photos by email. Next we can replace it with a real upload form connected to Firebase.
