In recent HN discussions of homomorphic encryption, there seems to be a common opinion that it is "too slow to use". I thought it'd be fun to put together a quick, seasonal demo challenging that assumption - here's a realtime database that supports private reads via FHE, used as the backend for an otherwise simple CRUD app. Please do kick the tires!
if my 3am engineering does fall over, and the demo breaks, you can still check out our github repo [0] for more detail on what we think you can practically do with FHE today.
