I should explain what is this about.

Frontends intention is to be a community of passionate front-end developers and web designers focused on help each other, discuss and share interesting things about Front-end development and web design.

Is similar to Hacker News, Lobsters, Growth Hackers and Designer News or that was my idea.

Is built on top of http://www.telesc.pe/ using https://www.meteor.com/.

Is in early development so you will find some bugs.

Any feedback is really appreciated.

Looks good - bookmarked! Are you targeting a similar demographic to /r/webdev?

One bug I have encountered is on clicking upvote and unregistered, I am redirected to frontends.COM

Regarding to your question, I have no specific demographic target, just general Front-end developers that are willing to learn, help or give feedback, it has only two weeks I have nothing specified yet about demographics.

Are meteor sites typically slow? The only ones I've visited are.

Not sure, I feel mine sometimes very slow, here is a list of Meteor/Telescope sites:

- http://www.bootstrappers.io/ - http://dataforgood.co/ - http://sidebar.io/

You can check if is only mine or all Meteor related.

Neat! I hand't heard of Telescope before, and it looks sweet (a lot like Discourse in some ways). How much code did you have to write to get this up and running?
