Meteor alternatives?

Meteor alternatives?

Wekan / General · June 20, 2019 at 2:53am

Hey guys, I built an Open Source app in Meteor a while ago (it actually had Kanban functionality as well, funnily enough), but as we all know Meteor is showing it's age and the community seems to now be non-existent.

What tech stack would you guys recommend as a modern alternative to Meteor? Any plans for Wekan to migrate to something else?

I really would love to not have to start from scratch on my project, but I don't really think I have a choice anymore with Meteor. Between the memory consumption and build sizes, it's just no longer a feasible option.

They are just thinking of it as a sport to install always latest Haxe nightly and latest git version and fix things in the fly as they come

              Does this need to be "move fast and break things" ?

                  Go has a lot of libraries available, and Go syntax changes less than other programming languages
