Is there anywhere to actually get a real demo of this product? Something that isn't a WebGL tech demo, but an actual example of an actual app written using this

I think the closest thing to that would be their "Tweetus" demo. http://demo.famo.us/tweetus/ http://demo.famo.us/tweetus/

  Wow, that Tweetus demo is SO clunky, like a bad Flash site :/

    what browser are you using?

      So famous is only for fast javascript browsers? That says it all... damn #hipstercoders. And yes, it works fast on chrome, dog slow on Firefox. Since when did we decide to collectively ignore Firefox users because we want to use some fancy shmancy JS framework so we can write our code using an "opinionated" approach? And I quote "opinionated" as that is precisely how the readme describes the "famou.us" way of building "rich, fast web applications".

        It's working fast on firefox for me.. but that means it arguably says worse things about the framework if performance can be so drastically variable from one person and browser to the next. Didn't famo.us show off some fancy spinning sphere thing a year or so back? I seem to recall that working wonderfully smoothly on my (Galaxy Nexus) cell phone. The demos all available now are terribly slow and jerky and really don't sell the tech in the slightest.

        It seems to heavily rely on graphics card support. Enabling linux graphic drivers in chromium changed it from barely working to silky smooth for me. I haven't figured out how to do the same in firefox yet though.

    It's not too bad on iOS7. But nothing to rave about either.

  Probably the slowest and worst clone I've seen. Hopefully that's not a reflection on famo.us.

The README refers to an "examples" repository at https://github.com/Famous/examples https://github.com/Famous/examples - it's not accessible right now, but presumably will be shortly.

I spent a couple of hours with their docs and built the following demo, which appears to work in all major browsers except Firefox. You could drag the background to change the angle of the iframe. Also, you could target a different webpage by updating the url -- be sure the webpage allows embedding as it's going into an iframe. http://beta.mindcast.com/famous/?url=http://famo.us http://beta.mindcast.com/famous/?url=http://famo.us
