Is there anywhere to actually get a real demo of this product? Something that isn't a WebGL tech demo, but an actual example of an actual app written using this?

So famous is only for fast javascript browsers? That says it all... damn #hipstercoders. And yes, it works fast on chrome, dog slow on Firefox. Since when did we decide to collectively ignore Firefox users because we want to use some fancy shmancy JS framework so we can write our code using an "opinionated" approach? And I quote "opinionated" as that is precisely how the readme describes the "famou.us" way of buildin…
It's working fast on firefox for me.. but that means it arguably says worse things about the framework if performance can be so drastically variable from one person and browser to the next. Didn't famo.us show off some fancy spinning sphere thing a year or so back? I seem to recall that working wonderfully smoothly on my (Galaxy Nexus) cell phone. The demos all available now are terribly slow and jerky and really don…
Seriously, check out the demos, http://demo.famo.us/ . Pretty impressive.

It's not hype. They just want to control the on-boarding of the open source community. The apps at the launch event tonight show a lot of promise for Famo.us being a better framework over Angular for mobile apps.
Just like their super-exclusive events in SF that you had to compete for tickets online in order to see the SDK early. Or their beta signup form that I tried years ago, which never delivered an actual beta. Never mind that, I'll just put my name at the end of this new 74k+ long waitlist. I'm sure this whole thing is just a really long on-boarding process.
I like Famous but there is so much buzz around it. ThreeJS had CSS and SVG rendered before they even started. Some projects, thanks to VCs gets too much marketing that put main players under their shadows. MeteorJS is the same.
It would be unfair to call Meteor's and Famous' marketing "the same". Some facts: - Nobody knew about Meteor before their HN launch[0] - Famous appeared at conferences, TechCrunch Disrupt and others with demos of periodic table[1] (which was a ported example from ThreeJS) - Meteor launched on HN, people loved it, and only then they raised VC and announced it [2] - Famous announced their funding and sometimes dropped…

What's the alternative to meteor that's been overshadowed by meteor?
there is none Derby is the closest thing to it but Meteor has more capabilities and has a better development team plus a lot larger developer community
How frustrating is the registration + queue to read the docs =(
