Original discussion 18 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4840032 .. it'd be interesting to hear how it's changed since then as I believe it's under active development :-)

A lot of things have changed. There are a lot more features now (things like invites, notifications, tags, more granular settings, RSS feeds, a simple API, etc.).

Right now I'm working on making the app more modular by extracting these features into separate, oprtional packages. It will make the app even more customizable, and easier to maintain as well.

You can read more about the roadmap here: http://telesc.pe/blog/meteor-0-8-update-next-steps/

And if you want to see a working example of Telescope I suggest checking out http://crater.io, a community about Meteor itself.

This application is partially cloned in the excellent Discover Meteor book( http://discovermeteor.com ... written by the same folks).

Thanks! If anybody's interested, that clone (basically a much simpler version) is open-source too:
