Is anyone here running Meteor in production? I've seen so many intro's and demo's and prototypes but have yet to see any actual products / companies built around it yet.
A couple months ago we launched edgee, a platform for sharing high-quality content in carefully curated collections, called edgees. The app runs on Meteor and we're very happy with it.

I browse with cookies disabled for privacy reasons.
How is it that every time I visit a webpage made with meteor, the only thing I get is a blank page ? Is it specific to meteor to not work without cookies enabled, couldn't it at least display a message asking me to enable cookies, even an error page explaining why I get nothing but a white background.
Hmm. Sidebar is an example of a site that has no reason to use client-side scripting at all. It's a plain list of links, and yet doesn't work without Javascript, and is far, far slower than it should be.
Creator of Sidebar here. You're right, it's not the best showcase of Meteor. The reason it's this way is because it's running on a very old fork of Telescope (http://telescopeapp.org), and I haven't had time to update it.
But you make some good points. Meteor is not for everything, and if I had known from the start that Sidebar would end up being just a list of links I might have used a different stack (like Rails, or even a static site generator).
Check their home page - and those exact words you used just now, those look awfully familiar to what people used to write when Rails first came out. :)
