- myrryr 8y agoMeteor for me, was really good, and then kinda got worse over time. They started to remove the simplicity of the design, but, that was what it really had going for it.
- chrisweekly 8y agoYeah, Meteor was pretty amazing when it first came out. It felt like it was from several years in the future. As I recall, it relied on mongo on the server and a minimongo that ran in the client. It made it trivially easy to create universal real-time webapps, which was a game-changer for me at the time. Reactivity has since become mainstream, but at the time it represented a bright line / step function increase in both DX and UX.
