Show HN: We're writing a book about Meteor

have you guys picked a platform yet for writing the book? using LaTeX? this looks like something that <a href="http://pen.fm" rel="nofollow">http://pen.fm</a> might be useful for, especially since the founder of that is into node as well, might be doing meteor stuff too actually :)<p>e.g. <a href="http://www.pen.fm/read/Returning-as-an-Engineer-PN1368383b7cd66bfc" rel="nofollow">http://www.pen.fm/read/Returning-as-an-Engineer-PN1368383b7c...</a>

The only problem I could see is that the meteor api is still potentially subject to major changes which could make large parts of the book invalid in a short period of time.

Those who like to build to Meteor-like apps while keeping Node's modularity and npm should check out Derbyjs, SocketStream, FlatItron, Express paired with Backbone/Amber/Angular and Airbnb's upcoming Rendr.<p>Most allow also to opt for a server-side rendering and mix it with real-time features which is good for SEO (check out Airbnb's new mobile site).

Looks great! I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished book.

Interested, but can't open in China, where's the hosting?

Cool, but why not just use web sockets?

ignorant marketer here:<p>Could Meteor be used to build a CMS with 90% static clean html + 10% live updating information (comments, chat, social, etc)?
