[Firebase Dev Advocate] Glad you're enjoying Firebase! Attaching a listener to the "items" Firebase is disabled. This is because it would send every item from HN to your computer. You'll need to attach a listener to the individual item instead. The "permission denied" error is coming from the security rules on the HN Firebase (https://www.firebase.com/docs/security/quickstart.html). If you're trying to find out what the latest updates are, they're kept in the /updates node (https://github.com/HackerNews/API#changed-items-and-profiles).

@angersock - the "about" value you're seeing on the Firebase Dashboard isn't broken, it's just a truncated preview. The HN team is using email for issues, so you can send them any feedback at [email protected].

@airlocksoftware - Yes, you should make separate requests for each story. You can attach a listener to the topstories node (https://www.firebase.com/docs/web/guide/retrieving-data.html...) and when that’s triggered, you can make a request for the data on each story. Using the Firebase SDK, each request will get made using the same connection. I'd recommend using our SDK instead of the REST API so you don't have to worry about managing your own connections and retries.
Thanks for the feedback (Firebase Community Manager here). We're working on improving the documentation. Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have more suggestions.
Thank you for your feedback (Firebase Community Manager here). We've heard from many people that AngularFire still isn't quite usable in complex Angular apps and we're working now on making some API tweaks and improving the documentation. Email me ([email protected]) with specific feedback.
