#32Interesting. How does it differ from https://getstream.io ?
This is for realtime apps, and Stream is for scalable activity feeds. They're not really similar at all.

#33This looks great! I am thinking of writing a Firebase compatible wrapper for this when I have free time. The main differences are in permissions and auth I guess.

#34What about offline first?

#35Does anyone know with what these style of websites are made with? there must be hundreds of .io sites here on HN that look and feel the same I am not a designer so do not know what this latest web design practice is called
It's to the point where I'm becoming embarrassed to release anything unless I spend a month doing graphic design on the launch page!

I've used the Startup Framework Generator[1] for building this style of website. Highly recommended. [1] http://designmodo.com/generator/
Oh wow, this is great. Thanks for sharing!

#38It’s clear that you’ve designed something that gets people’s attention (your animation on the homepage might be one of the best examples of real time apps I’ve ever seen), but based on the questions in this thread…people are looking for differentiation.
If I were you, I’d start by answering everyone’s questions here. These are your potential users and leaving them hanging seems odd. The next step would be answering those questions on your site.
This is the kind of service that people are going to start using for a new project (rarely are people going to switch existing infrastructure to something brand new). But any new framework, language or platform requires investment and with developer related services and tools, people are going to research first. Help them do that research efficiently.
Good luck taking this to the next level!

Thank you for your feedback. You're absolutely right, but I guess we've missed the window for Hackernews to an extend now. We're currently putting together a "how is deepstream different from ..." page and a general "about" section for the webpage which will be released shortly.
Again, thanks for your advice, much appreciated.

#40I looked at the source code and it seems that it mostly glues socket.io with Redis/Memcached. What did I miss? How exactly is it more scalable than anything else? The front-page looks really cool.
It goes a bit beyond that :-). Deepstream scales horizontally by allowing to connect multiple deepstream nodes to a message bus (e.g. AMQP, Redis, Kafka etc...). The nodes multiplex messages within each other and sync their client's state.
