Ask HN: Is anyone building anything big with Meteor?

7 points·tonyblundell··8 comments

So http://madewith.meteor.com/ is full of demos, and Google only returns examples of very small apps.

Are there any examples of complete/large-scale apps built with Meteor?

We are. Currently released two full-stack Meteor.js responsive, mobile-optimized large-scale web apps, one in production, the other one in pre-beta sneak preview.

- Citypath.eu — City travel app. Job work for a client. - Popol.li — Popularity poll voting app. Our own side project.

If you want to learn more, do get in touch over Twitter: @sewdn or @rhythmvs

My company's application (www.futurescaper.com) is built with Meteor and is currently pushing 34KLOC, so it's not particularly small. Unfortunately we don't have a public demo as of yet, but have used it with great success with quite a few private clients. On the whole Meteor has been a great success for us.

http://madewith2.meteor.com/ has some small-team or one-man projects with source code available.

Production apps are not usually open-sourced.

I would guess that the fact that Meteor currently uses MongoDB may prevent adoption by many larger sites.

Really? I thought that was one of it's key selling points.

MongoDB has gotten a bad reputation lately. I can't say whether or not it's deserved, but try googling or searching here on HN for comments about MongoDB. There are quite a lot of negative ones.

they have examples on their website: https://www.meteor.com/gallery

Unfortunately none of the code is shared.
