It seems as though Meteor Toys is abandoned. I’m a paid customer and have been trying to reach @msavin for several months about an issue and have received no response. Just wanted to let other Meteor devs know.
I just wanted to put an official ask to @msavin if this is abandoned? If so, you probably should take down your package’s premium upgrade/payment portal - as that seems to be working fine still. Not a cool move to be selling something and then have radio silence on it.
@filipenevola The free and open-source mongol and JetSetter would probably be excellent candidates for community packages to keep up to date. As I find these utilities essential in development. More so than the paid upgrade version actually - which has issues - which is why I’m trying to reach @msavin.
I’ve only been using them for about 1 month now, but they are pretty nice, not quite as many things included as Meteor Toys, but I’d say the essentials are covered well.
I’m using Vue’s dev tools for my front-end dev along with the Meteor DevTools Evolved
Meteor Toys was an awesome tool, shame that it’s been abandoned but I think there must not have been that many paying customers to justify keeping it up to date?
I agree with @mullojo - devtools evolved are awesome, some of the meteor toys features would be awesome (like AutoPublish).
Hey folks, Meteor Toys are definitely not going away
Right before Tiny acquired Meteor, it felt like Meteor would shut down any time, so I just updated Mongol as that is the key package. However, I’ve spoken with the new management recently and Meteor Toys will be making a comeback soon
Open source is way more resilient than most people think as long as it genuinely provides an economic advantage, I’ve seen many big tech go down after being acquired by companies etc, but with open-source, it is always a pleasure to see smart folks step up to pick up the slack and frankly I’m glad that Meteor is out of Silicon Valley with working business model.
The community is growing and Meteor Toys is very well positioned to grow with it so I hope to see it developed further.
P.S I’m a paying customer and I hope we get to see the react version as well
there are 2 years between “Ughhh I need to release it haha” and “and am in touch with @fredmaiaarantes”. I think the only thing expected here is a “I am not planning to release further versions, Toys is dead” or “a new version is coming on this date”. But the reliability of commitments here seems to be a bit of a problem. I don’t have a problem with the version of Toys, I never used it anyway but I have a forum problem when people are being misinformed. deceived, etc. We cannot function like this here. There needs to be 100% reliability on what we say and commit to or otherwise … this is just a Telegram crypto group …
Fully agree what you wrote here and @msavin - This situation is not only about the project but also reflects on your reputation within the forum.
If you’re unable to continue working on this project, please be upfront about it. There’s no need to dwell on past purchases or engage in semantic debates.
The communication breakdown over the past couple of years has negatively impacted your image. Conversely, it seems you’ve had ample time to provide detailed input on Meteor’s marketing strategies, particularly concerning React and Blaze.
