Javascript programming examples with Meteor

I have been playing with the Javascript platform named Meteor. Now it has arrived at a stable version 1.0, I highly recommend it! These are not polished commercial products, but I managed to go from an idea to working prototype quite quickly, while learning JS along the way. They are designed to look good on mobile devices as well as desktop.

mimercado.meteor.com

A simple app that uses the Twitter search API. For example, if you search for ‘sushi’ it will show any recent tweets in the city of Tuxtla Gutierrez (where I lived in Mexico), allowing a business to find new clients.
