Comment on Angular or Backbone: what are startups using?

Comments

Not sure about the methodology here. In addition to having my own startup using Ember.js, I'm constantly meeting with other startups building their business on it:

* Discourse

* Travis CI

* Practice Fusion

* Nitrous.io

* Embedly

* Balanced

* Customer.io

* Addepar

Not sure if you count other places like Square or Zendesk as startups, but they're using it too. We've also seen big companies like McGraw-Hill Education start building out their next generation technology using it.

You can find a longer list of users here:

I should also call out that many of the above (Travis, Discourse, and Balanced) are all completely open source. They serve as a great learning resource for other companies building seriously ambitious apps.

I'm still on the hunt for a large, open source Angular app to see how their primitives scale up to solve more complicated problems. If anyone knows if such a thing exists, I would appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.

If you want to meet these folks in person, come by our meetups. Both the SF and NYC meetups routinely have attendance of 120+ people; it's like a mini-conference every month.

We're using EmberJS at Pertino too. edit: I see we are already on the ember-users link :)
