[off-topic] Anyone here using digits (sms key based sign in https://get.digits.com/ ) ? I don't seem to understand how this type of authentication will work if a user ends up obtaining a new phone number..

@dk0r It’s part of Firebase now. I don’t know if there is an account linking for it when you lost your phone number though.

I didn't realize firebase was made by google --trying to figure out diff between angular and firebase

Firebase was acquired by Google some few years back. Angular is a frontend framework by Google. Firebase is a platform, not a frontend framework like Angular. You can use Angular/React/VueJS/Ember/etc... with Firebase, these are all frontend frameworks. Firebase is like a different kind of Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS). Graphcool is also another kind of BaaS. But Graphcool is more powerful, as it has more expression to the data, and doesn’t get your get confused in all steps of the way. In my opinion, Firebase is also an interesting platform. It’s just that only a very few usecase makes sense for it, namely simple usecases; anything data intensive, and you’ll deal with an endless line of rules. Graphcool, on the other hand, can be used for even your most data complex usecases.

just read up on this --firebase is a BaaS --not a framework like angular

yep

From the digits blog: "Users can simply visit digits.com and update their phone numbers within their dashboard — on both mobile or web. We recognize you need to know about these changes, so the next time the user launches your app, we’ll notify you in app of the new number. See how to receive session updates on both iOS and Android in our docs." Source: http://get.digits.com/blog/launching-voice-verification-and-change-phone-number

Thanks aga

No, Digits is not linked to your app, just like logging it with your Google account. You don't expect to be able to change your Google account settings through your own app are you? Same goes for Digits imho...
