Links to examples of Meteor plugins are all broken

[andyl]

On Atmosphere.js - many plugins have DEMO links to [pluginName].meteor.com - but the links always seem to be broken.

Were they moved to another domain ? Can i just exchange meteor.com for something else to reach the DEMOS

No, you cannot just change the link. The plugin authors should have updated their readme’s to pinpoint to a new location.

It’s because the free hosting of meteor ended a while ago.

Meteor.com free hosting ends March 25, 2016

Over the past three years, maintaining the free Meteor.com hosting service for 10,000s of apps has taken a big toll on our ability to move fast on other products. Now that reliable, pay-as-you-go Meteor hosting is available for everyone via Galaxy, we’re confident that Galaxy is a better home for your apps and will give everyone the chance to try it for free. As a result, we will retire the legacy Meteor.com free hosting service on March 25, 2016. We know many of you have enjoyed the Meteor.co…

Just to add, some community members/projects have been given free Galaxy hosting for their demos/docs. Projects like aldeed:autoform for example - the AutoForm demo app can now be found at http://autoform.meteorapp.com/. Most projects that have been given free Galaxy hosting follow their old URL naming, with meteorapp.com as the domain.

Is there a form to request for this? We have a few polymer components built for meteor that’ll be published in a few weeks after polymer migrated to npm and we could use the hosting for the meteor specific components.
