Yes, this makes a lot more sense.

Played around with this a bit and think there are some really cool bits and generally a cool idea. Out of curiosity who is this specifically targeted to / who do you think this product will greatly improve the lives of?

Great product but even better support. I integrated storemapper in a meteor.js based website for my brewery http://twbrewing.com/where_beers. The meteor framework gave me some grief as it tends to do with embeddable js widgets but Tyler got back to me within a day or sooner everytime I had a question.

Thanks, I am going to have to start asking people for their name and internet handle/username!

So many great craft breweries, it's really incredible. I live walking distance to Dangerous Man, Indeed, and 612, have the day job near Fulton, make it a point to get to Steel Toe, Harriet, and Flat Earth. I wish I could get out as far as Excelsior and Lift Bridge more often. So many choices!

Make sure to introduce yourself sometime.

Definitely not what we are aiming for! Maybe think of it like 'ls -R' is the first option we support but we are working towards being much more 'ls -a'.

Co-Founder George Kellerman here. I lurk on hackernews a fair amount (technically through hackurls.com) and just saw this post so that was pretty cool. At the moment the majority of our "open sourceness" is provided in the deep dive blog posts that we do http://twbrewing.com/blog. We have a lot of work ahead of us to be truly open but we do have a couple special projects in the works to help that happen.

Hey llamataboot, we have a bunch of things on our list to share and I promise its more than just beer recipes. A lot of it we have to work through since our business is so regulated and deals with a lot of 3rd party partners. I do appreciate you even mentioning the type of things you are interested in. I'll make sure to keep track of your feedback and see what we can do in the future to open some of those items up as well.

One the of co-founders here (George). I totally agree with you here. One of the challenges we have is just the pure amount of information a real business has and the realities of getting that information shared. We piloted most of the beers on a custom built 15 gallon system and in the future many new beers maybe be "designed" on the bigger 15bbl system. The 15 gallon system is bigger than most homebrewers use and going bidirectional from 5 gallon to 15 bbl is a bit more complicated than just linearly scaling the recipes. I would like to add a feature to the website that lets you choose the batch size but just need to find the time to do it! Long story short we are still committed to being open source and feel free to keep us honest on that front. If there are particular things you interested in please don't hesitate to contact us directly.

Ok, that's fricken cool.

Great interface, and I can definitely see the advantage of being able to add extensions so that it is customized to the specific workflow I am looking for without the junk I don't want.

I think this is one of the first commercial quality meteor applications I have seen, which says a lot of the dev team but also shows meteor is a platform capable of at least getting the job done if not doing it well.

Question: Do you anticipate allowing people to write their own extensions / having some sort of API?

I am rather bored by the specifics of Asusgate, but I do think the story has one very interesting conundrum. If change has to be driven by impassioned masses. And the masses only become impassioned when directly affected. Does it become OK for the good guys to accelerate exposure of the masses to the risks in order to prevent harm happening at a larger scale in the future?

Thanks for the link, especially since my reply probably really only deserved a http://lmgtfy.com

Not to sideline the topic at hand but have you ever heard of anyone doing an analysis of time submitted vs. number of hits?
