Comment on I like Meteor.js because I'm lazy

Comments

I've been learning programming for about a year and Meteor was the first Javascript framework that I used. I found it remarkable how quickly and easily I was able to get something up and running, given that I had relatively little experience with Javascript (I read most but not all of Eloquent Javascript).

I used it to make an online multiplayer Go board where you can see your opponent moving the pieces, for the purpose of teaching games: https://github.com/muraiki/senseinogoban Being able to make something like this as a beginning programmer was really exciting! Since I'm pretty new to programming I don't know if the code is that great but it might give some ideas to people who are interested in using Meteor in a graphical way (as opposed to something like a To Do list).
