Hi folks!!
On “This Week in MeteorJS” we’re showcasing apps and sites built with Meteor that are live. We have a few we’ve uncovered, but we’d like some more.
Although we’ll touch on a few from the Showcase page, we’d also like to show apps and sites that aren’t as well known.
So, here’s a chance for you to share your work and get your project on the program. Or perhaps you know of someone else’s and want to share another example of a site or app that runs well on MeteorJS - do it!
Provide the info in the format below to allow us to check and prepare to cover it in the show.
URL: << public address we can get to >>
App Name: <<Name of app/site/project>>
Description: <<What is this app/site/project?
- What does it do?
- What problem does it solve?
- Who is it meant for?
- Give at most 3 cool features.
- Why was it built with MeteorJS (if you know)?
- Who built it (if you know)?
- How long has it been running (if you know)?
- What is its usage level (high/med/low usage/traffic – if you know)? >>
Anything else?: << anything else including telling viewers to go check it out>>
If we aren’t able to use it in the program, we’ll probably build a short around it. So it will still get used.
So excited to see what you share!! Thank you!

App Name: TutorMundi
Description: Tutoring & homework help for Brazilian school students
Students share the math question they can’t solve, the essay they want feedback on, etc and within a few minutes a tutor is helping them
- What problem does it solve?
Students who have a question but can’t figure it out! Books, classes, videos etc can only do so much. At some point you’ll have to talk to a human being who can debug your understanding of the subject matter so to speak.
Parents often want to help their children, but struggle to do so. They expect schools to solve this problem. Many schools try, but it’s hard! The schools end up spending a lot of energy providing a very incomplete solution that nobody likes. So both the parents and schools are happy for us to take the problem out of their hands.
Brazilian school students from middle school to high school and prep school
- Give at most 3 cool features.
The three main features are:
- Private class - 1-1 chatroom with an interactive whiteboard, photo upload, voice messages etc
- Quick Questions - the student’s question is immediately responded by an LLM. The response is then reviewed and if necessary corrected by one of our tutors
- Questions feed - see responses to questions from others in the same school year (who are likely doing the same homework, studying for the same exams etc)
- Why was it built with MeteorJS (if you know)?
Many reasons. Real time updates mean fast responses for the students. Well integrated stack: small team (for some years just one developer) managing front, back, database, android, iOS. Many tools out of the box means a fast iteration cycle, which was crucial as it took us a few pivots to get the business model working.
- Who built it (if you know)?
TutorMundi, Inc, a company founded by Raphael Coelho, Alexandre Tondello, Thomas Machado and Bart Sturm: Quem Somos – TutorMundi - TutorMundi
- How long has it been running (if you know)?
Since 2016
- What is its usage level (high/med/low usage/traffic – if you know)?
Higher than ever ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://forums.meteor.com/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=12)
Anything else?: That’s it!
