This looks fantastic. Anyone know how well something like this deprecates? My dream is to have a mobile site that is all Backbone-y on iPhone/Android but falls back to server-based rendering when loaded through a Blackberry or similar.
This is pretty cool. I've been playing around with a variety of JS frameworks recently and code sharing is probably my 2nd favorite thing about meteor. Anybody know if these guys are hiring? My school's big interview day is on Thursday and airbnb's front-end stack looks appealing.
Rendr looks like a much more robust solution, however. I'll have to see if I can incorporate some of it's techniques, specifically serving HTML on page load.

My brother released a very similar project about 8 months ago.[1] He never did properly announce or document it so it's no surprise that nobody else is using it. Of course, it's not like rendr has any real documentation, either. However it has been working very well for us, so it is validation of the rendr approach. A quick glance at their documentation indicates a very similar design, comparing the two projects shou…

You should totally steal highbrow's ViewModel code, which is very sweet. (But you might want to come up with a better name). Rather than passing @model.toJSON() as template data, highbrow creates a ViewModel from the model or coll…
