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.

              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.
