Status Updates

It has been a while since the last release of a digest. The reason for this is that I am pretty busy with our startup and I am also commuting a lot which leaves very little time for a side project like Meteor Daily.

For the time being I am taking a pause from releasing digests, but I plan to continue with the project in the future. There will still be digests from time to time, but please do not expect daily updates. If I stumble upon good content, I will also post it to crater.io.

For weekly updates, you should definitely check out This Week in Meteor by Rishi Goomar.

Thanks to everyone who is subscribed to Meteor Daily. If you are not subscribed yet, you should subscribe anyways and you will get the updates once I resume the project.

Merry Christmas

I hope you are enjoying the holidays!

The year will end soon, so I would like to do a best of 2014 with you. Use the comments to list your favorite Meteor-related memories from 2014. It can be things like super helpful blog posts, fantastic packages, nice articles or cool sites in production. Just anything you particularly liked.

Please provide a short summary on why that resource really helped you and a link to it in your comments – you can use HTML tags.

Looking forward to hear about your highlights :)


As not a lot of things happen when everybody is on holiday, there is not much to report. So, I will take a break from Meteor Daily until 2015 starts. Wishing you all a happy new year!

Expanding Meteor Daily

I have been curating Meteor Daily for a little bit over 3 months now. The site has become well-known in the community. In those three months it has received over 3000 page views. The mailing list is doing good as well. Some people read Meteor Daily directly in their inboxes, so the audience is even bigger than the page views suggest. All of this was accomplished with very little advertising. I think I only posted to crater.io, reddit and meteor-talk about this project.

A new domain

When I attended Meteor Day in Singapore the guy sitting next to me and some others already knew the project. To introduce the rest of the group to Meteor Daily, I gave a short spontaneus lightning talk. The feedback was very positive. So, being in a positive mood after the good feedback and after a generally awesome Meteor Day, I decided to take Meteor Daily a step further. When I got home I bought a domain for this site, which is todays first announcement:

From now on, you can use meteordaily.info to access this site. The current domain daily.dferber.de will stay as the main website, so you don’t have to update your bookmarks.

Reviews and Interviews

I also thought about other ways to improve Meteor Daily. In the upcoming months, there will be reviews and interviews published here. A new meta-category will be used to communicate internal things like vacation leaves. I have updated the layout to accomodate the new types of content. But don’t worry, I will not flood you with these things. I plan to only include them from time to time. Also, the only thing that subscribers receive via the newsletter or RSS will stay the digests.

But most importantly and thanks to my very relaxed working hours, the daily digests will continue. They are and will stay the main purpose of this site.

Summary

  • new domain: meteordaily.info
  • daily.dferber.de will stay as well
  • new content like interviews and reviews
  • categories for different types of content
  • explicit links to each posts comments
  • project stays focused on daily digests
