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?

                                was because original author tried to rewrite Wekan, and got tired in trying that

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