Nice work. I think Pitchfork throws way too much content at the user, so this is definitely something I could see myself using. Is there a particular reason you chose Meteor over other Node frameworks/libraries? Were you just intrigued by it and wanted to try it out?

Thank you for checking it out!

Not in particular apart from the fact that my first web development project ever which I put out last December was done in Meteor: http://mixtape.meteor.com. It was a collaborative YouTube playlist app.

Since then I've worked with other more mature MVC frameworks, but I find that I'm still able to produce my weekend projects a lot faster using Meteor. I also like the free hosting (and easy deployment) on a .meteor domain it offers.
