Have you open sourced your solution here?

Refer to this previous post of mine about using Meteor with MySQL

Yes, we successfully updated our app to Meteor 1.4, which required only minor changes to our code, and are now enjoying lower CPU usage mostly thanks to the Node.js v4 upgrade, which included a newer version of the V8 Javascript engine.

We can hardly wait to see what Node.js v6 will do for our Meteor app.

I would like to ask the 50 million dollar question:

Who chose to elevate Facebook to such supreme heights of holiness? Why are we expected to drink the poisoned kool-aid and accept the Facebook platform and libraries to represent the perfect vision of how our web apps should be designed or implemented?

Our app is not a Facebook clone or Social Networking tool and neither are most peoples’.

The Internet has been around for a long time and is used for many other things apart from social networking!

Sure I admire what Zuckerberg and Co have done, but that doesn’t mean I want to be exactly like them and do what they do!

To me, Meteor resembles Coca Cola. The company succumbed to unfounded FUD about their original formula and replaced it with New Coke, only for customers to realise that new was not necessarily better and that Coca Cola Classic was right formula all along - just like Meteor Classic.

MDG - are you listening?
