Meteor alternatives?

So it sounds like, yes, you are looking to move away from Meteor, but haven't settled on an alternative stack yet. Correct?

Yes. I would like to have support for many databases with some ORM or other database abstraction, like SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, CloudFlare keyvalue store, etc.

I also have problems building fibers on arm. Meteor does not by default support arm.

Meteor is about 2 GB of javascript.

For Raspberry Pi, I would use some compiled language, like Haxe to C++ to binary

Question also is, how would I move all this current Wekan features etc functionality to new framework? I'm not sure I understand all parts how current Wekan works.

Although, I could try to get new framework working step by step, like I have done incremental improvements to Wekan since 2016-12.

I did start maintaining Wekan 2016-12 because previous maintainer and author of Wekan got tired when trying to rewrite Wekan.

Well, maybe if I start from cloudflare-worker-todos, and try to add support for other databases like SQLite, to run it on Raspberry Pi. Maybe that could be a start.

or, adding some NPM orm package to support many databases

I have tried some alternative stacks, and on those I have got stuck with some missing feature or functionality. And then someone has asked for fixes/features for current Wekan, and I have continued at those. Meteor is full-stack framework, but is there some other similar full stack framework with same or more features? And how it would be possible to migrate between stacks?

Some progress. I got https://github.com/wekan/cloudflare-workers-todos deployed to CloudFlare workers+keyvalue store, at address https://todo.wekan.team . Setting it up was suprisingly easy, I found from CloudFlare forums how to link keyvalue store name. Most likely I would need to make more clear docs or video about how to setup it.

It's very little amount of javascript that is at workers directory. Some HTML+JS+CSS code is at frontend, that makes post request to backend. Both frontend and backend are at same Javascript file. There is also some library loaded from CDN.

It's vanilla javascript TodoMVC with CloudFlare backend.

I am waiting for asp.net blazor. this should give everything we need. but i'll be a nearly full redevelopment.

Hey, just go ahead and try ;)

actually, asp.net is not yet listed at https://github.com/wekan/demo/wiki/Roadmap , I should add it ;)

I don't know any other frameworks so well as Meteor. So it would really need contributors that know some other framework very well, to do it.

We already thought about rewriting wekan after we did some of the changes and got in contact with meteor :-)

as soon as .net3 with blazor (official technology) is released in autuum we are going switch our in house applications at scherdel (https://github.com/scherdel) away from frontend angular and aurelia to .net blazor.

the invented and opened great developer products during the last 4 years. we would invest some(!) hours a week of 2-4 developers in a wekan rewrite with this.

(i have to discuss this with the team :-))

@road42 Did you implement some feature for Wekan? Or try to implement something? Did it got stuck somewhere?

@road42 I don't know is reimplementing Wekan possible with some hours a week of 2-4 developers. Developing Wekan has taken many years of full time development.
