	HN uses Firebase, maybe that is the reason.

Does this site also use Firebase, or do they only feed Firebase's Database so that other developers can build upon it?

Any source for that? Last information I have is that it's written in Arc Lisp and uses files rather than a database for storage.

There is a public API on Firebase, but AFAIR it's just a mirror rather than the main storage.

TIL. What for?

The very least public APIs are exposed via firebase.
