Hi there, guy who made this here. There's a disclaimer at the bottom of the landing page for general context, but here are the technical stats.
I took a shot at building something in my spare time (weekends and such), while having a fully engaging full time job. It spanned over almost 6 months, but there were weeks when I had not even a single commit.
Besides having an idea to believe in, I have to say, Meteor was also a big part of making this happen. It's the first time I'm building anything with it, but after a few weeks of setting the tone and a few small lib files, the productivity of having it all in one place was unbeatable by any other previous experience. I could write some more about my experience with Meteor if other people are curious to try it but never had the chance.
Meteor wasn't the only productivity booster though, I used as many out-of-the box services and technologies as possible. Not to mention organizing yourself as if you were in a team is a key ingredient in keeping a project together for so long with so many breaks. I used a private Github repo, but using Bitbucket or other similar tools is just as well
