Testing and selecting a free or paid Rich Text Editor can be a guessing game about how many issues you and your users are willing to put up with. When it came time to develop our Meteor app, we tried some familiar (Tiny, CK, etc.) and not so familiar options, but in the end, it […]

Unlike template helpers which can be added globally via registerHelpers, in Meteor, global events are DIY. While adding tooltips to our upcoming web app, we needed to add click events to multiple templates and Template.body.events wasn’t going to work for our setup. So, we did a simple little workaround and used a jQuery plugin. jQuery […]

For developers, startups and small shops placing value on the philosophies behind “Minimum Viable Product” and iterative prototyping, Meteor is worth consideration. Serious consideration.

Broadcasting to a projector with Chromecast is a lot of fun — unless you can’t hear the audio. Chromecast does not separate audio and video, so unless your projector has a built in audio out, you’ll need to split the HDMI signal and run the audio out to your speaker(s).
