What made you draw the conclusion that your comment was contributing to the discussion? That somebody didn't know about deployment (server vs. client) differences between two young frameworks for building single page applications?

Actually I think it would be quite interesting to know what caused the confusion. My first reaction was that the projects are completely different and the question must have been grounded in a complete misunderstanding of what NW is, but as I think more I realize that there are some notable similarities. Meteor synchronizes the clients and server in such a way that it seems they're running in the same process on the same machine, and the only thing the developer need worry about is adding some declarative configuration for security and efficiency (obviously this simplifies things a bit). NW actually makes the client and server run in the same process on the same machine (or rather the parts of the stack that typically run on the client and server respectively). The parent comment asked a question which may well have provoked an interesting discussion into a topic like this. And although its phrasing may have been a little blunt, it didn't come across as rude. If we assume that evo_9's comment was honest confusion rather than laziness, it's then only fair to assume Kiro's was founded in genuine interest as to where the confusion lies.

I wasn't trying to be snarky. I was just interested.

  Apologies, as I misinterpreted your short reply. It was a bit odd have "how is A different than B?" replied to as "well, how is A similar to B?". Now that I think about it they are both quite similar ("build apps with node.js/html/js/npm") and very different at the same time (webserver vs chromium runtime), so both questions are fair.

    Thank you. I agree that they are both similar and different at the same time so I don't find it strange that someone would think it's like Meteor. It would still be interesting to hear his/her reasoning though since I suspect it was due to the lack of real information on the homepage.
