We're so tired of hearing people ask "but isn't Meteor.js dead?"

It’s great to have a video/yt presence that discusses this especially after fireship video but I hope this the last nail in the coffin.

It absolutely drives me crazy when Meteor developers repulsively start rebutting whether Meteor is dead or not. Each response, each second spent discussing this only breathes life into this lie and magnifies the FUD. Please be the last time you officially respond to this.

Our product wouldn’t exist without Meteor. So no, it’s not dead. Definitely not.

We’ll have to flip the question around. “Is Meteor ALIVE?!”

(Might accidentally attract a few ʻOumuamua fans but…)

Maybe also good to associate Meteor with memey trends. E.g.

  • Meteor Oxidization with Rspack
  • MeteorJS + SolidJS + SolidRouter
  • Keeping AI on track with Rails Meteor
  • Modular Monoliths with Meteor
  • NextJS vs Meteor
  • Flaming Meteors: slapping Hono onto your MeteorJS app
  • MeteorJS with Scalar OpenAPI docs using Hono
  • or combinations of the above: The Solid Flaming Meteor Monolith Stack…

Oh no, I’m starting to figure out why all the VC funded and publicly trading companies start rebranding themselves every time there’s a new trend even though their main product hasn’t really changed…

(Also in case it’s not obvious, I’ve been messing around with SolidStart recently, thus me biasedly trying to shoehorn it in)
