Project developer here. The library is not new, it's actually been around for almost two years, but I've just pushed 2.0.0 and realised I never did a Show HN on it before. In the past few weeks I've seen a lot of talk around Meteor (spawned in part by Sacha's posts[1][2] on the state of the framework), so I thought to share what is my practical take on it. I never liked Meteor too much as a full-stack framework, but I found it fantastic as a real-time API server, a fully open source alternative to services like Firebase. In this regard, Asteroid is basically a js sdk for Meteor. At my current company we've been using Asteroid in production in several projects, so I'd say its functionalities and utility have been battle tested. :-) Feel free to play around with it and ask questions!
