   We use Lockitron on the Firebase office door. I highly recommend it. Giving access to new employees is a couple of clicks, rather than making & tracking a new physical key.

   You can find our REST API docs here: http://www.firebase.com/docs/rest-api.html We're definitely working on security full speed. We have some basic security but it's not ready yet. If you'd like to beta test it, please email us: beta@fire

    Good point. This was on while we were in stealth. I've removed the whois protection.

    Good question. Meteor is an application framework, like Ruby on Rails. Firebase is a database, like MySQL. We both think that application development is going to radically change in the future and we're both building products that promote a

    Hosting can be handled much more efficiently / easily by someone designed just for content distribution, like a CDN. Our own site is 100% server from a CDN, which makes for very nice scaling characteristics. Also, it's free right now...

    (Co-founder of Firebase here) We know the Meteor guys well and are really excited about what they're building. It's very complementary. We're both advocating a new paradigm in software development and the faster it comes the better.

    This solves a problem that I have all the time. Existing movie aggregators are a pain to navigate the filled with ads. I like the Rotten Tomatoes integration. Nice work.

    Completely agree with the sentiment that food often becomes a burden rather than a joy. Love the idea and congrats on knocking it out in a weekend.

    Awesome, thanks so much for the input. - Flood control is already baked in. 4 messages every 10 seconds is the limit. - Pasting images gets ugly (eg porn). We'll think of a good way to do this soon. - JS editor is a sweet idea! - Personal b

    Interesting way of approaching a/b testing. The core offering is in place so having a college intern just test as many things as humanly possible seems like palatable to any founder/exec. Might have to try this...

    We're using Java/GWT also on Envolve ( http://www.envolve.com ) It's been pretty spectacular so far.
