I'm curious about your choice to use fanout.io. It looks like they are similar to firebase, but less feature rich?

- jkarneges 13y agoDisclaimer: I work on fanout.io, so there's that. ;) What's nice about fanout.io is that it makes APIs like HNStream easy to build and scale, while remaining invisible to clients. One cannot use firebase to create a custom realtime HTTP API like has been done here. Firebase does have other features like data storage, though. IMO the two services serve different purposes.
