Ask HN: Is anyone building anything big with Meteor?

7 points by tonyblundell 12y ago ↗ HN

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?

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.

Unfortunately none of the code is shared.

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.

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.
