So, please help me understand what is cool about this. Isn't this similar to the Socket.io demos?

Sure, but it's neat because it uses Firebase's BaaS and apparently no other backend code.

It's similar to all the other "chat demos" that every programmer writes.

It's a little step up from learning how to program "Hello world".

So no, there's nothing remotely cool about this.

Except I suppose that if you scale rapidly, that Firebase would be able to handle the load.
