Dude, use alpine (~5MB) rather than ubuntu (~190MB) for the base image!

Done. Awesome image! Thanks for sharing :)

I noticed that the API from firebaseio has been really lagging since I turned this loose, not sure what is up, the code for the retrievals is pure REST though, nothing hardcore or nonstandard.

wow really bad now, my program is mostly useless without firebaseio... should I ring them?

I attempted to call the 1 (844) 843-3473 number on the firebaseio.com site, I suspect it may be before their waking hours though.. my hnwatch now is not behaving at all like it was earlier though, and the only difference is that I released it here :-/
