This would take about a hour to code in Meteor and quite a bit less code as well. Nice job though, love the idea!

  No, it wouldn't.

    then maybe you should check out http://madewith.meteor.com/ http://madewith.meteor.com/ for some examples and check out the code

  Seriously, what is the point of making such a pointless statement like "meh, this would take an hour in Meteor"? Is it because "Meteor will kill Rails" is the buzzy headline of the week on HN, and you felt the need to be trendy and throw that into the discussion in this thread? What value does a comment like that add to discussion about a developer releasing a project he worked on for a few months to the open source community?
  • aioprisan 13y ago
    First off, it's not baseless, it really would take an hour or two for someone who is familiar with Meteor, since it's built for helping you create exactly this type of applications. I was not discounting the work that was done but pointing out that a better platform for this application corner case would be something actually built to support real-time web applications from the ground up with less context switching, such as a full JavaScript solution. It would simply take less time and resources to build it all in JavaScript from the beginning if you're familiar with it, whether the framework was Meteor or other frameworks. There's nothing trendy about this value judgement. Which specific part do you disagree with? I'm not saying that Meteor is killing RoR, now you're bringing your own bias and baggage from other stories that you disagree with into this discussion. My point was for this specific application case, not broadly for all applications and implementations.

      And you did it!

  Go on. Show your meteor version to us in, let's be generous, two hours.
  • aioprisan 13y ago
    Like I said in a previous thread, as far as building a Meteor clone, challenge accepted. As soon as I get off work in a few hours, I'll get started.

      Well done!

  People grossly underestimate time it takes to figure out what to build, how to design UX, which APIs to use, how the workflow works. And all the inspiration that goes into coming up with something new. Sure, if you are given a working website, and you were to replicate exact copy of it, you can do it far faster (still not sure about 1 hour estimate-- show us if you really mean it).
  • aioprisan 13y ago
    Absolutely, I agree that a heck of a lot more time than 1 hour would go towards figuring out the entire user flows, UI etc. I never meant to discount that aspect and that's where some of the negative karma here is coming from. As far as building a Meteor clone, challenge accepted. As soon as I get off work in a few hours, I'll get banging.

    As promised, here's my working clone in meteor: https://travel.meteor.com https://travel.meteor.com
• aioprisan 13y ago
  As promised, I cloned the functionality of the showcased project in Meteor in 1 hour. Finished product: https://travel.meteor.com https://travel.meteor.com Source code: https://github.com/andreioprisan/meteor-travel https://github.com/andreioprisan/meteor-travel
