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?

@boeserwolf What framework do you use?

    Well, it depends. I've worked with a few over the years, starting with jQuery (of course), Angular 1.x up to Angular 2 - 9 (popular in the German corporate environment), Meteor (which I was quite excited about in 2012), React / React Native and over the last two years I've been stuck with Aurelia 1. For smaller or private projects I tend to use Vue because it's just so quick and simple, and I want to look into Svelte.

      That said, if I want things to be robust and require very litte up to no maintenance, I tend to write it in the purest way possible (e. g. vanilla JS / PHP / C# / Go, whatever) and avoid external dependencies.

        It's possible to use Svelte in Meteor https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/devel/Roadmap.md

          Wekan uses up-to-date newest Meteor, Node 12.x LTS etc dependencies that are compatible.

            Consider Vue.js, Svelte, React Native, and Apollo as first-class citizen

            That's great!

              But I would simply adapt to what you guys are mainly using/doing in Wekan, to not add extra layers of complexity to the project.

                Wekan is made with Blaze, and most likely will continue to be. In near future I will probably get funding for mobile web fixes, so that Wekan would work on Safari on iOS/iPad.
