Show #1 was a wild success with over 2,000 listens/views in just 2.5 days, thank you! This new thread is for us all to chime in and help plan Show #2 which will be recorded on Monday and released Tuesday.
Reply below, let us know which topics are the most important to you from the past week!
We learned some lessons we will be iterating on:
Sashko needs a better mic (hello…hello, is that my echo?)
We need to limit each topic to 20 minutes
We talk on only 3-4 topics total
Release each topic as separate parts (60+ minute show is hard to sit through)
About TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION is a weekly podcast/vlog covering the most important topics to come out of the Meteor Forums. Each week I need your help to pick the most relevant forum posts for @sashko and I to discuss in deeper detail. We will pick 2 of your topics to talk on, Sashko will pick the another two. I will be your investigative journalist and Sashko will be our “inside contact”.
It is our hope for this show to becomes a weekly staple for all Meteor developers to get the inside scoop.
I am totally down for a chat about Reactive GraphQL (I’m guessing it will be one of Sashko’s picks) and the future of Meteor + Relay (Redux)… which will likely morph into a talk about minimongo and trackers future.
It is funny how Tom Dale tweets the same salty complaint about Meteor every 6 month while building an alternative tooling set that only got adoption on the front-end framework part (which is challenged daily by new frameworks).
I agree talking about Reactive Graphql would be ideal for the next transmission. Mainly some understanding of the ETA of the first version and what to expect? Some architecture thought processes?
Also it would be nice to talk about how similar or different it would be with Relay on the implementation side?
I think there is a question here of whether we stick to discussing/recapping forum threads or just picking whatever topics people feel like asking about.
I like the forum thread approach because it gives us a lot of existing content and comments to draw from rather than just spinning up a new topic that will get discussion afterward.
I think that approach is ok, but us forum dwellers are a ridiculously small, vocal subset of the larger Meteor/JavaScript community. It’s important to speak to our concerns, but there should also be some attention paid to topics that will strike a (positive!) chord on HN, Medium, and the like. Talking about Reactive GraphQL with a special emphasis on SQL support is a good place to start. As Doug Funny would say, “Think big!”
Yeah I’m just saying, for example, that we shouldn’t talk about this series of tweets partially because it’s not a currently hot discussion in the Meteor community.
