Would you choose Meteor today?

Wekan / General · April 15, 2020 at 2:24pm (Edited 4 years ago)

I played around with Meteor in 2012, but in the end I left the framework behind because I felt that bigger projects would get pretty "bloated" over time. So I thought of Meteor as "suitable for smaller real-time based projects".

After working on Wekan for some time - would you choose Meteor again if you had to start over today? If not, which stack would you choose?

I do like BaCon Basic https://www.basic-converter.org/ + SQLite + webserver as single executeable and .db file. Writing that code was for very tiny example was nice. But it does not have all the libraries of Meteor etc.

                                              Sure, I am looking at various frameworks. It's just that, moving a mountain is not easy.
