Devshop Demo for Meteor Mobile: SoLoMo

Making Social, Local, Mobile Easier than Ever Before!

The developers at Meteor have been hard at work building mobile support into the framework. Our goal is to make Meteor the easiest, fastest, and best way to build a great cross-platform application. This is an app we showed at Meteor Devshop August 2014 to demonstrate some of the features of the initial preview release of mobile support for Meteor.
