Thank you for your reply. But just to get this out of the way:
I do not depend on free hosting. I don’t need it. But my reputation depends on the recommendations I have made:
“Trust me, the Meteor Development Group is a highly accountable vendor.” ← Here, those accountability questions is what I’ll get. Along with questions about my professional judgment.
Trading trust. The top product teams of the world will not help, if communication and self-reflection is poor even on 180 decisions. Especially if it looks like MDG is suddenly short on money (bad), or short on a clean road map (worse). I really hope you guys learn to tip toe rapid decisions in feedback or option discussions with the community first. Meteorpad was run by a single part-time developer himself. I am really not sure whats going on resource, money, or story wise. But certainly more professionals read this than are vocal about it and it’s annoying that every two month stuff like this happens.
Regarding official partner:
I am in web tech advisory for B2B enterprises and start-ups. Here, being a professional partner of anything is not a really great way to signal objective stack assessments/cto assistance. Also, hosting in the US is just a no-go for 90% of my clients.
