Ask HN: meteor.js apps you're working on. And why.

Start with the name of the app, when you started and what help you need, please. Keep some consistent structure to the posts.

Wigwamm http://old.wigwamm.com - Nov 12 - making the app fast/ take less time to load.

Wigwamm is an auction for rental property every Monday night. In real-time.

The design takes into account that most users will be mobile, but many that browse the 'catalogue' will likely be at work on an XP/IE7 combination.

So we've got a problem with graceful degradation of the app. And the initial load time sucks. Any thoughts?

Comments on the general concept are welcomed too.

Have you tried stripping out meteor? Your app is simple enough to not need the endless polling.

What makes you say that Meteor does "endless polling"? It's reactive.

Sorry for the late reply. Open the console or open any meteor app in a mobile browser.

Seems a 'dirty' way to achieve real-time. Surely there's a more intelligent/efficient method to be found?
