In the current design of the app, the number of quotes is hardcoded in the app. But because of that each time, I add new quotes I will have to redeploy the app. This will cause reluctance in me to redeploy and change the quotes - which means it has difficult maintenance.
To fix this, I want to modify it such that either I will set the total count as a runtime configuration which the app can pick up automatically. I tried using the firebase runtime configuration. But it seems for this config change to take effect I will need to redeploy the function. This seems to not fix any of the issue.
Researching further I found a solution to this problem by adding a random float to each quote and when querying just querying for quote greater than a specific random number. That way I will get a different random quote each time and I don't need to redploy the app each time. I haven't made the changes yet and redeployed the app but this should fix the maintenance nightmare and will make it easy for me to add new quotes to the app.
