#2Hey everyone! The four of us have been working very hard on this for the last six months, and we're excited to finally take the wraps off. Can't wait to hear what you think!
We've got a lot more stuff coming over the next few months, and if there are particular things you'd like us to do/prioritize, I'd love to hear about them!

This looks awesome! Nice work guys.

#4"You can use the database api on the client!"
Does that freak anyone else out? Where are they doing permissions checking? Who can run what database commands under what circumstances?

#5Interesting (and smart) that they post to Hacker News a couple of days prior to the launch of Firebase (which provided the realtime functionality used by MMO Asteroids and has been active at hackathons.)

Are you guys in Boston?

From the docs (http://docs.meteor.com/#meteor_collection):
"Currently the client is given full write access to the collection. They can execute arbitrary Mongo update commands. Once we build authentication, you will be able to limit the client's direct access to insert, update, and remove. We are also considering validators and other ORM-like functionality."
So just for toys for the moment. Still, very cool...

#8Just watched the entire demo. First time I heard two people present a product together - definitely makes it a lot more interesting and much less monotonous. After the first 30seconds, I went "pfft, live reload isn't new." But I'm glad I stayed till the very end because it is indeed so much more. It looks very promising, especially if you offer app hosting of some kind (or make it easy on Heroku etc.)
I am curious about the security aspect of writing to DB directly via the client but I'm sure you've thought of it. I love the 'add less', 'add coffeescript' feature. Can't wait to try this out soon.

Looks very interesting ... This or something like it seems like the obvious "other shoe" for nodejs.

Urm. Yeah. It scares the ba-jesus out of me. The first thought when I heard this "killer feature" was, 'well, there goes security out the window'.
Stupid hypnic jerk question perhaps, but, how's it deal with injection attacks ? is this left upto the javascript programmer to make sure strings are "safe" ? I almost dread the answers.
