Meatier – A Meteor alternative • Hacker News Board

Edit: Reading more into it, this is just a starter kit and not a replacement for Meteor. You lose everything that made Meteor insanely popular, for what exactly? RethinkDB?

Nice project, but wouldn't call it yet Meteor alternative. It looks more like Meteor 0.x, but done with a few different tools.

Still it doesn't solve my main problem with Meteor adoption. Right now if you would like to use Meteor you need to start from scratch using specified database. That limit adoption a lot. I would love if Meteor could be adopted more incrementally by companies (e.g. write collaboration layer to your existing app).

Looks like what Meteor team are planning to do... Very interesting as a complete web app starter kit

True! Seems pretty much the direction meteor is taking & is an interesting web app starter kit :)

This is far closer to mainstream JS - with the benefits that offers, eg, wide user base, maintained version of node, etc - while offering the same 'change item in browser, DOM updates, DB replicates, other clients see changes' as Meteor did.

Is this a parody? It must be right? "Meteor is awesome! But after 3 years, it's starting to show it's age." Edit: Reading more into it, this is just a starter kit and not a replacement for Meteor. You lose everything that made Meteor insanely popular, for what exactly? RethinkDB?

Few sentence in the pages made me think the same.

RethinkDB + graphql is exactly what I missed from Meteor :) Meatier seems like a promising stack.
