I've been playing with this for the last hour and I must say it is a beautifully-designed experience throughout. I've seen quite a few BaaS (Backend as a Service) products debut on HN, and I'd usually play around with them for 5 minutes and then throw them into a bookmarks folder. What really got me engaged here was the many examples, the excellent documentation, and the gorgeous interface.

You really hit that dopamine rush in a developer's mind when they imagine the possibilities. I think that was a really powerful effect that Firebase had with me and I see it here too. Really awesome platform and can't wait to see where it goes!
