Curious. What are Firebase and Trigger.io help me solve that isn't already available in any other standard web framework (think LAMP)? Are they only really applicable for building real-time apps?
My understanding, from a cursory perusal, is that this isn't serving web content to the phone's existing browser, but rather packing up your html and javascript with a (thin, one hopes) custom browser to display them, which also exposes more native functionality than does the regular browser. So you aren't writing a web app, you're writing a native app with web technologies, sort of.

Someone please correct me if I'm off base.
