Meteor UI and Components Talk. David Greenspan previews Meteor UI. (Link to Video)

Collaboration. Sharing. Open Access. These were themes of this month’s Meteor Devshop, as over 120 Meteorites shared apps and experiences from all over the world, winning hackathons and taking names. Most importantly, Meteorites are helping each other build things faster, motivating each other to build more things, and making the world better, one open access journal article app or collaborative IDE at a time.

Lightning Talks

Clearly, the collaborative in-browser IDE is an entity whose time has come, with no fewer than three presentations featured at this Devshop, one of which enables development of a Meteor app in a Chromebook, and another of which includes a collaborative sketchboard and won the CMUSV hackathon. Our other hackathon winner won Big Hack at Stanford.

Other Meteorites showed off business startup ideas and interesting works in progress. The fantastic work of Meteorites from this past month was evident in the Lightning Talks for Meteor Devshop 3.

We had no fewer than 3 collaborative in-browser IDE’s, one of which won the CMUSV hackathon recently.

Meteor Components and UI

David Greenspan offers a macroscopic preview of Meteor components and UI as a work in progress, and the overarching philosophy for how things will work.

Stay tuned for Meteor Devshop 4. I can’t wait to see what our Meteorites have in store for next time. Sign up for your Lightning Talk here.
