Meteor sounded like a really good concept and I wanted to give it a decent shot. However I could not find a getting started project. The ones I found were very trivial and did not go much into details. I couldnt really find a lot of documentation about how to create an app which used 40-50% of the features which will be used by the majority of the crowd. But I will give it another shot and probably write a polls app (ala Django getting started) in meteor.

Anyone who says "5 minutes implementation" to me, get's a nice and sound "GO FUCK YOURSELF" EDIT: Usually it's the business monkey, UX snake oil guys and product leeches that say "Hey, that will only take like 5 minutes, right?"

Don't "from scratch" and "with Meteor and Mailgun" contradict each other?

It's basically the same thing as Rails people saying "you can make a blog in five minutes!", because you really can't.

(This isn't a knock against Rails, it's just that five minutes barely gives you time to open the documentation and start to actually get an idea of how a library/framework is designed.)

   meteor create --list
Personally, I think the `parties` example is a good one, so you can do:

   meteor create --example parties
Enjoy.
