2017 DevFestMN Luke Schlangen
summary
Builds a minimal collaborative editor using Firebase: a real-time NoSQL database backing a textarea, sign in with Google authentication, local CLI serve and hosting, and simple read/write rules. The demo shows last-write-wins syncing, updates under 100ms, and a blunt set-on-keyup strategy for edits. Deployment finishes successfully and the app is deployed in ~45 minutes, with caveats about auth rules, transactions, and when a real backend is still needed.
