Just a thought, would be cool to work together with some people to build an open-source version of Slack that companies can setup within their firewall and gain control of their data.
The idea is to build a rock solid base easily deployable on your own server or on Galaxy and a version which you can install on your mac like this project: https://github.com/studiointeract/desktop
I’d love to be part of that, and add to the extension mobile and electron app of Impact … but a Meteor that Impact… could be a bad name, let’s find something that is less linked to a font
This is a great idea! I’d love to join and learn along the way, but first I need some time to go through your code
And thank you for sharing such a great tutorial!
p.s.: For a name I could suggest something like: Gravity, Dive, SpaceTalk.
or: Lux, Lens, Magnifier or maybe even: Crack or Boom
Or perhaps there’s a slang name for some communication tools that aerospace engineers use, anyone?
There’s no reactivity in the router here anyways, aka no need for Iron
Router.
And yeah, package structure is much better!
Should we create a new github+atmosphere organization for this?
As for names, I like break the most of @entropy’s suggestion, and one
could say: "Take a Break"
Otherwise for Impact one could say: “It’s all about making Impact”
The Lyrids Meteor Shower occurs in April each year, but the term ‘Lyrid’ could good, be shaped to mean anything. Also, the term is pretty clean on Google (ie. only shows up items relating to that meteor shower, easier to work on SEO to get it to top if needed)
lyrid.im is available and lyrid.com could be bid for in future it seams.
It is a blend of HipChat and Slack. It connects to either LDAP or Atlassian Crowd. It has user presence, image upload, mention, private rooms and 1on1 done.
I’d suggest checking out http://matrix.org, they’ve built a great basis for distributed chat along with a suite of mobile clients and SDKs. A Meteor-based Matrix server could accomplish all your goals and federate to boot.
I think having a big open source app using Flow Router and Flow Layout would be really awesome, as an alternative to the Iron Router style of app organization.
I’m actually considering switching LibreBoard to Flow Router and Layout but for now I decided to stick with iron-router and blaze-components, mostly because @arunoda stated that these packages are not production-ready. I may with this combo in a separate branch if I have some time.
