This stack reminds me of Meteor, which came out nearly a decade ago(!). https://meteor.com https://meteor.com
It never really took off in the mainstream - I think because it was before many developers really trusted JS on the server, and a "full stack" framework is quite a big commitment for a team to shift to. Also most CRUD apps don't need real time collab.
I remember being amazed when changes were instantly propagated between my phone and laptop browsers with almost zero lag. This was the demo that sold it for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGbmW9bwJh4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGbmW9bwJh4
- valzam 5y agoI built my first big software project in Meteor! It was great, really a shame that it didn't take off. As you said I think it tries to do too much. Hell, at some point they even introduced their own package manager. It might be good for solo developers but as soon as you have a bit more bandwith I think you give up too much control.
- thezjy 5y agoAuthor here. Thanks for mentioning Meteor, which also impressed me a lot when it first came out. I think it didn't take off because it tries to do too much (frontend + backend + db). And one smart move by Replicache is that it tries to integrate nicely with the rest of your stack.
