I thought you'd like to see what I've done with it.

Obviously you probably know about the invite only http://news.layervault.com It's where the design elite have been hanging out.

I wanted to clone that style, and I've got one up and running on

http://calm.io:3000

Some of the biggest changes is I was able to convert the entire post to flex box mode. It's really slick layout that way.

I'm really confused though because it seems to not load from .sass but from css instead… :-(

[iangcarroll]

Erm, calm.io is the wrong domain...

[ckizer]

oh no it's right, just forgot port number. I don't know how to make it persistent. I've always worked at startups in ruby environment but as fronted css/js/html. It's tough for me to get this rails project running, can't figure out how to make the server "stay" on, or change the port:

http://calm.io:3000

Here you go!

The server denies connections. The server might be too busy or might be disabled. Try again a bit later.

Did you guys food it or something? So strange? it worked fine now it says the server is flooded? but the apache works, still just not meteor/ruby

[ckizer]

Added a screenshot, obviously the frontpage isn't all that exciting. But flex box is the way to go. For example if you wanted to add a div for image thumbnails on every post, or content to the post, this model allows you to just create a new div inside of each post section and it will automatically be laid out for you beautifully.

To set a port on rails, execute it like so: rails s -port (port)

You might be better using Passenger (with rails). It works with vhosts with apache

[ckizer]

snapapp, have you used telescope? Were you building a news site too. Sorry i can't show you the live one. Yes but how can I run Meteor? It I type rails s -port (port) meteor won't run?

This stuff is really confusing… what is the web server? Rails? Meteor? What is server the http requests? I type "Mrt" to run this package, tell me how to run "Mrt" on another port?

[SachaG]

Good job on the redesign, really looks nothing like Telescope! That's pretty cool!

But I must confess I'm very confused by this thread. Why are you talking about Rails and Apache? Meteor doesn't have anything to do with either one.

[iangcarroll]

Gosh, sorry! I heard something about rails ("It's tough for me to get this rails project running")

I love Telescope, and I'm using it for http://serverbooks.net It's a Minecraft serverlist, not a news site. Telescope's very flexible :+1:

@ckizer, just run mrt deploy sitename.meteor.com and you'll have free hosting.

[SachaG]

Wow, very cool! That's exactly the kind of things I wanted to enable by creating Telescope :)

[iangcarroll]

Glad you like it! :)

[iangcarroll]

Ah, how ironic you're part of an org. called oort cloud. Learning about that in school right now :)

Might want to mention I'm in 7th Grade...

[SachaG]

Haha, I don't really know what an Oort Cloud is to be honest, I didn't pick the name :)

[iangcarroll]

Science stuff ahead:

An oort cloud is a theoretical ring, or cloud, light-years away from our galaxy that contains comets. It's supposedly where all the comets come from, but nobody has actually seen it.

I have lots of hosting. My question is how do I deploy this. I'm asking about all the servers because I don't understand what is the web server? Is meteor the web server? Or is it really using Rails? I'm so confused. It behaves like ruby on rails. So is this a ruby project with Meteor dropped in to replace rails or do I have ruby+rails+meteor?

I have it running on that server now, but all of a sudden rails or whatever runs says too many connections. But I can just use mrt deploy calm.io next-time and it will turn it into more of a production app?

I'm almost done adding themes. We're using handlebar templates. I would love to have a lot less of the markup be intertwined in javascript (the templates are fine). Everytime there is a line of javascript that writes DOM elements it takes control of the site away from the designer. In my idea world I'd love to let meteor reference stuff by data-bind instead of ID#. It feels much cleaner. Themes are clean, and even allow HTML changes. I'm also allowing articles to have content on the main page, and adding in the ability to have an add line :-)

[ckizer]

I know it looks way different but it's not that different. you can easily enable the share buttons and such

[SachaG]

Meteor has absolutely nothing to do with Rails or Ruby, it's a JavaScript framework based on Node.js. And the web server is Node.

And I don't think there's any markup interwined with Javascript except maybe for the comments, Handlebars forces you to maintain a pretty good separation between both.

[iangcarroll]

Yeah, while it may appear to be semi-related to Rails, there is no Rails code. Running Rails in the directory would be utterly pointless.

[SachaG]

How does it appear semi-related to Rails? If something in the docs or the code references Rails or makes people think it's a Rails app, I should probably change it to avoid any confusion…

[iangcarroll]

At first I thought meteor relied on Rails because I had never seen a pure JS app before
