I would love it if they eliminated this one step:<p><pre><code> * The files are served off of a basic Node server...
</code></pre>
By eliminating that they would truly achieve their goal to get rid of "Mucking around in backend code".<p>They're already storing their data in Firebase, so why not store ALL of their data in firebase, including those assets that they currently are using Node to deliver? Think about it: ALL data stored in Firebase (or a similar DB-as-a-service API), including HTML, css, javascript, images, etc... Finally, you could could create a web and app service and never touch a server. Sweet!
