| Thanks for the response. I have, and its simple enough from the perspective of a developer that has been in the field for a little while, but since these services are getting more and more popular it seems like striving for absolute clarity might pay off in the long run. For example, 1. Its not totally clear that the url that you are supposed to use is the url that is generated when you create a new app and land inside of Forge. 2. Its also not totally clear that in retrieving data you're supposed to follow the structure of you JSON schema. A simple note along the lines of "If you would like the retrieve the third index in your array, its as simple as creating a new Firebase instance and passing in 'mydata.firebaseio.com/3' as the url. 3. Like I mentioned in my first comment, it would be good if you had a 'Retrieve Data' bullet point on your getting started page. For users who simply want to import JSON into Forge to display in their app via retrieval, a two line note and example along the lines of Retrieve Data user = new Firebase('mydata.firebaseio.com/users/3') user.once (userData) -> console.log userData.val() # Should return Kim Gordon
would help.There are little things (and I emphasize little here) scattered throughout which would lead less experienced devs into a bit of confusion when first getting started. If I'm being overly cautious here please disregard, but it did hang me up when I first started playing around with the system. Either way, totally love the hosting and super psyched to dive deeper into the platform! |
