I wish I didn't have to log in with Twitter to try it out. It is a lot of fun to see some of these cool things built with Firebase though. That Refrigerator Magnet game a while back was some of the most time-wasting fun I had found on this site.

So, please help me understand what is cool about this. Isn't this similar to the Socket.io demos?

It's similar to all the other "chat demos" that every programmer writes.

It's a little step up from learning how to program "Hello world".

So no, there's nothing remotely cool about this.

Except I suppose that if you scale rapidly, that Firebase would be able to handle the load.

Sure, but it's neat because it uses Firebase's BaaS and apparently no other backend code.

I played around with firebase and AngularJS over the weekend. Had a lot of fun, firebase was really easy to use (once I understand how the data was structured).

I open sourced the code as well: https://github.com/hswolff/bringthesalsa . Direct link to the app here: http://bringthesalsa.hswolff.com/#/ . Blog post here: http://harrywolff.com/weekend-project-bring-the-salsa/
