**Description of the Error:**
2+
This challenge focuses on creating a responsive image gallery using CSS Grid. The goal is to build a gallery that dynamically adjusts its layout to fit different screen sizes, displaying images in a visually appealing and organized manner. We'll be using plain CSS (CSS3) for this example, although the concepts could easily be adapted to Tailwind CSS.

A common problem when working with Firebase Firestore and applications involving posts (like blog posts, social media updates, etc.) is performance degradation as the number of posts grows. Inefficient data structuring and querying can lead to slow load times, high latency, and ultimately, a poor user experience. Specifically, attempting to query large collections directly using `where` clauses on fields within nested objects or deeply structured documents can result in slow queries and potentially exceed Firestore's query limits. This often manifests as slow loading times for feeds or search results.

**Fixing the Problem Step-by-Step:**
6+
The gallery will display images in a grid layout. On larger screens, it will show a certain number of images per row. As the screen size decreases, the number of images per row will automatically adjust to maintain a responsive design. We aim for a clean, modern look with consistent spacing between images. Images will maintain their aspect ratio.

This solution focuses on using a combination of techniques to improve performance: data denormalization and proper indexing.

**1. Data Modeling:**
9+
## Full Code:
1110

12-
Instead of embedding all post details (like comments, likes, user information) within a single `posts` collection, we'll denormalize the data. This means storing frequently accessed data redundantly in multiple locations for faster access.
13-
14-
**2. Collection Structure:**
15-
16-
We'll use two main collections:
17-
18-
* **`posts`:** This collection stores the core post information. Each document represents a single post with an ID. Only essential data like title, author ID (a reference), timestamp, and a short summary will be stored here.
19-
* **`postDetails`:** This collection stores detailed information about each post. The document ID will be the same as the corresponding post in the `posts` collection. This will contain details like the full post content, comments, and likes.

**4. Indexing:**
86-
87-
Create an index on the `timestamp` field in the `posts` collection to efficiently order and retrieve posts by date. Firestore automatically creates an index for your top-level fields but it's good practice to explicitly check and make sure that indexes exist for your frequently used queries. Go to your Firestore console and under your database, you will find Indexing option, click it and check if the index is present for timestamp in `posts` collection. If not, add it.
52+
Remember to replace `"image1.jpg"`, `"image2.jpg"`, etc. with the actual paths to your images.

92-
By separating the core post data from detailed information, we reduce the size of the documents in the `posts` collection, making queries significantly faster. Fetching only the essential information first and then fetching detailed information for individual posts as needed optimizes data retrieval. The `orderBy` and `limit` clauses improve query efficiency for retrieving paginated lists of posts.
57+
* **`display: grid;`**: This is the fundamental line that enables CSS Grid layout for the `.gallery` container.
58+
* **`grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr));`**: This is the core of the responsiveness. `repeat(auto-fit, ...)` tells the grid to repeat columns as many times as fit within the container. `minmax(250px, 1fr)` defines the minimum column width (250px) and allows columns to expand to fill available space (`1fr`). Adjust `250px` to control the minimum image width.
59+
* **`grid-gap: 20px;`**: Sets the gap between grid items (images).
60+
* **`width: 100%; height: auto;`**: Ensures images fit their grid cells while maintaining aspect ratio.
61+
* **`display: block;`**: Removes extra space that might appear below images.
62+
* **`@media (max-width: 768px)`**: This media query allows for adjustments to the layout at smaller screen widths. In this example, it reduces the minimum image width to 150px.

The gallery will display images in a grid, with a fixed number of columns on larger screens and collapsing to a single column on smaller screens. We'll add a subtle hover effect to the images, perhaps a slight shadow or opacity change. The overall style will be clean and modern.
