Google crawlers do index javascript now as many people have already pointed out. The other common practice is to use a "prerender" server which uses a tool like phantomjs to render the HTML of the page. When googlebot or any other robot hits your http server, you check the useragent, and if it matches known robots you forward the request to prerender instead of your app server.

The prerendering might be in place here. When you set your useragent to Googlebot, you get a page with tons of html. Still nothing readable though. The textcontent Google indexed is not in the body of this but in the metatags. Strange. They could have put it in the metatags independent of the useragent, right?
