Derby (http://derbyjs.com/ http://derbyjs.com/) ostensibly does everything that Meteor does, but seems to be flying a bit under the radar. I'd be interested to hear comments from anyone that has had experience building apps in both Derby and Meteor.
- morgante 13y agoI've used both and actually prefer Derby. They don't toss out Node (which the Meteor team did), thus making it easy to leverage the growing Node ecosystem. Also, I'm constantly left scratching my head as to why the Meteor team chose to make backend code synchronous. That being said, Meteor simply has a lot more developer talent (and money) behind it. Hence it's improving at a much faster rate than Derby.
- victorhooi 13y agoThe documentation for DerbyJS is unfortunately somewhat thin on the ground at the moment, which is a shame. They do have this YouTube tutorial though, where they run through how they made the multiplayer story game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0DOGXmaT3g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0DOGXmaT3g Code is on Github here: https://github.com/codeparty/multiplayernotepad https://github.com/codeparty/multiplayernotepad Demo (currently unavailable): https://stories.derbyjs.com https://stories.derbyjs.com
