Consider going two-sided. :-)

The reference is great, but it'd be cool to have some minimal examples as well. You can't do that with the current space, but if you went two-sided you could. And we might as well put something useful on the other side anyway. :-) For example:

Writing Data

var ref = new Firebase('https://YOUR.firebaseio.com/');
ref.child('status').set('groovy');

Reading Data

ref.child('status').on('value', function(snapshot) {
   console.log(snapshot.val()); // "groovy"
});

Appending Items to a List

var msgsRef = new Firebase('https://YOUR.firebaseio.com/messages');
msgsRef.push('hey guys!');

Reading a List

msgsRef.on('child_added', function(childSnapshot) {
  console.log(childSnapshot.val()); // 'hey guys!'
});
msgsRef.on(child_removed', function(childSnapshot) { ... }
msgsRef.on(child_changed', function(childSnapshot) { ... }

So I like this idea. The original goal was that I wanted to try and keep it to one page, so it would be a simple API reference guide, rather than the worked out examples that are available on firebase.com/docs. That being said, it may turn out to be a better idea to make it more example focused rather than API focused, since it shows more practical usage.
