Next steps on Blaze and the view layer

Think you did a great great great job on building such a terrific platform! Now it’s time to fix those damn communications.

9 days further, more than 300 posts in this topic only. Not to mention the other topics around related topics.

But nope there is no activity on the forums. No problem, you might have been busy, other things got priority, or it’s just not clear what to answer. Just get real on this.

Just be fair, talk to the people and say how it will go.

Some examples of clear answers which developers can work with:

  • We do not guarantee support on Blaze from (give it a date). Also from now on bugfixes will not be our priority. New feature requests will for sure not be implemented.

  • We will have a React - Meteor connection ready from at best 1-2 months. So in between do something yourself, the standard will not be set yet. After that we will push a new way to connect Meteor with React which we will call the standard so be prepared to update your code at that point.

  • We will not make decisions on what is best practice, just take a look in the guide (which is now our answer to all of that sort of questions). That’s a guide, not a core direction, so we can and will overrule the items in the guide every minor version.

But stop talking about things which don’t become true. Better give a negative but clear answer, the damage will be much less.
