Ooo, checking that out now. Parse alternative? http://www.quora.com/Firebase/How-does-Firebase-differ-from-Parse http://www.quora.com/Firebase/How-does-Firebase

  No, the key difference is that it's real time. It supplants Meteor's mongodb/minimongo syncing and its authentication system. The only thing it lacks is a client layer. But for me that's a feature because in the past 2 years lots of reliable client side stacks have popped up, and both derby and meteor's custom client stack are disgusting. I've been using Meteor but I'm thinking about abandoning it in favor of firebase/angular. Edit: can you show us a cached link to your derby vs Meteor comparison please.

    KaoruAoiShiho, I'm really liking the look of this Firebase. Are you yourself set on Angular as the client? I feel inclined towards your opinions: a man who comes from Drupal, uses Meteor, with an eye on Angular, obviously knows what he's talking about ;)
    • KaoruAoiShiho 14y ago
      I'm not necessarily set on Angular but I've used Backbone professionally for over a year but it's out of the question now. The other one is emberjs which I haven't played much with but all the literature on the internet that I can find supports angular over ember. I've also reviewed the ember docs and they make several decisions that I don't agree with. I'm open to other client frameworks but if the Firebase+Angular combo works out it seems to me like the best foundation.

        Dude, you should put that Meteor/Derby reply back up - that was good, and people are requesting it :) Sorry, can't find a "contact user" feature on HN
