Meteor.com free hosting ends March 25, 2016

I am a big fan of Meteor, evangelize it for free and this makes me angry.<p>1. Many of free sites are demo sites of their packages and tutorials. This would hurt the ecosystem.<p>2. Two week notice before shutting down is way too short. Should I trust Galaxy given this reputation?<p>3. Well I see a lot of AdSense ads about Meteor. That&#x27;s probably terrible way of burning VC money and I don&#x27;t think devs pick frameworks based on ads. Running tiny utility likely is way more important.

I am a bit disappointed. I understand that this was coming our way, but two weeks notice is very short.

You&#x27;re giving us 14 days? No one, anywhere, gives 14 days to shutdown a service.<p>No one.

Just shutting the thing seems a bit inconvenient. They could instead have announced they were charging something modest - say first month free then $5 and made some money while allowing the old stuff to work.

Sad to see this go. `meteor deploy&#x27; and having your project online was a part of the bewilderment that Meteor gave me when I was first introduced to it.
