About 2 years ago I posted an Open Source Firebase alternative, GUN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9076558 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9076558 . It stayed on the homepage for about 5 hours. Since then we raised a seed round from billionaire investors like Tim Draper and Marc Benioff of Salesforce after having gone through the bitcoin/virtual-reality accelerator BoostVC (their applications are open now, message me about your startup and if it is awesome I'll try and refer it in)! Now we're about to release a performance focused version (30M ops/sec, see https://github.com/amark/gun/wiki/100000-ops-sec-in-IE6-on-2GB-Atom-CPU https://github.com/amark/gun/wiki/100000-ops-sec-in-IE6-on-2... with a podcast by readthesource.io on how) and onboarding enterprise customers. It has been a real honor and huge blessing. Very thankful to be able to work on Open Source full time, check it out at https://github.com/amark/gun https://github.com/amark/gun and http://gun.js.org/ http://gun.js.org/ .
