I've been working on this roadmap idea for some months, but when I saw the Meteor devs' roadmap on Trello yesterday, I thought I oughta put a proof-of-concept up within a few hours' work, mostly a fork of the Telescope app, to validate my idea.

To eat my own dog food, I want to have Leakmap's own meta roadmap up soon, so users get to decide what's more important next.

Very cool! I haven't "officially" released Telescope (a.k.a the big HN post) yet because of a couple remaining bugs, but once I do I'll be sure to include a link to Leakmap to show what kind of things you can do with it :)

It was a real joy working with your code, thanks! Pretty straightforward and I actually saw you using much the same patterns I do to guide my Meteor development--it was a breeze to get around and understand the logic within the 9 straight hours it took me get from forking to deployment. I was sure I'd get to some major hurdle but nothing actually bit me. That would probably also be a testament to the Meteor framework's simplicity and full-stackiness itself, I guess.

After the rush to deploy, I'm tempted to port it to Coffeescript but on the other hand I want to be able to pull new stuff from your repo and maybe ask for a pull request or two.
