It works pretty well, but there are still some &quot;issues&quot; you need to deal with:<p>- Items for users with a delay configured get posted to the API before their content is made available (if you go to the story id on HN proper, there&#x27;s a <i></i>* placeholder)<p>- The odd item will come back as `null` from the API for a while<p>As long as you deal going from not having content for an item to having content in an update, the API usually corrects itself eventually.<p>Here are live feeds of new stories and comments from the Firebase API in the client I wrote when it was announced:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;insin.github.io&#x2F;react-hn&#x2F;#&#x2F;newest" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;insin.github.io&#x2F;react-hn&#x2F;#&#x2F;newest</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;insin.github.io&#x2F;react-hn&#x2F;#&#x2F;newcomments" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;insin.github.io&#x2F;react-hn&#x2F;#&#x2F;newcomments</a>
