I think a lot of people still haven't seen https://feathersjs.com/ . Has been around for a while and offers all of this and more AND is drop in replacement for Express.

Sure, but it's about balance and setting expectations with the users of your open source framework. Being transparent and delegating responsibility. Your project can only scale as well as you can and that is limited by the number of ho

I 100% agree but it's only "a problem in open source if you don't recognize the situation". I've been writing about this a bit on Medium. https://medium.com/@ekryski/your-open-source-is-a-produc

Exactly. Even at 20 hours a week you're looking $20k/month. As a freelancer that is a great rate with little overhead. There is no doubt that being the author of Hapi is a major reason why he can charge that rate. I get being burn

Definitely an intentionally click-baity headline :). I am in no way affiliated with either company in the at article. Just happen to know the guy that did the VERY thorough detective work. However if you are spending money on some of the hi

That's pretty smart. Effectively versioning your issued tokens. Way easier than maintaining a blacklist.

You have to be careful that you are not leaking sensitive info though, as the JWT payload is meant to be visible on the client as well.

I agree that's how we treat them with Feathers. You may know this already but JWT's are intended to be decrypted on the client so you shouldn't be be saying "if" it is cracked, more "when". The signature i

Glad you are liking it. Yes auth needs a bit more love. I'm working on it right now actually. It's getting close to a 1.0. As far as passwords go, I assume you are referring to passwordless auth? We are working on that right now :

Sounds good. Really appreciate that feedback. Seriously. I have felt a bit like we are throwing a lot at people at the beginning of the docs.

Nope. Not intentional. Looks like we had the old URL. Thanks for pointing that out. I've updated the website and the docs.

I'll quickly add to what daffl said. That there is one more manual method outline here ( https://github.com/feathersjs/feathers/issues/265#issuecomme... ) that doesn't require running another non-feat

Nope, no reason at all. It will work just fine. Feathers is pure JS and doesn't have any hard external dependencies. On the client, it just handles the data layer and communication with the server.

We try and help you keep it clean. Check out https://github.com/feathersjs/feathers-chat to see what our idea of an app should look like. Obviously, different strokes for different folks, but that's the kind of co

Sorry you feel that we are being dishonest. It's definitely not intended. I respectfully challenge the claim that Meteor is currently real-time and Feathers is not. Just because we're not (currently) doing oplog tailing on Mongo a

All of the docs are from https://github.com/feathersjs/feathers-docs using the amazing Gitbook. We are totally open to PRs if there is something that is incorrect or could be worded better :-)

by ekryski 11y ago
We haven't tried it ourselves but Feathers just uses passport for auth underneath so any passport auth strategy will work. For SAML, to make it feel "Feathersy" might take a bit more work (ie. wrapping it up as a Service) but

Feathers also supports Primus ( https://github.com/primus/primus ) so you can a bunch of other socket transports.

RethinkDB support is in the works for sure! https://github.com/feathersjs/feathers-rethinkdb/issues/9

Thanks for that feedback! What are you finding overwhelming? We're always looking to improve.

I will also follow up with, although we mention it on the site, we realize there may an implied bias with the comparisons being on the Feathers site and if anything is incorrect or out of date we want to correct it. So issues and PRs are ve

Let us know how you fair and if you run into any issues. The best way is in slack.feathersjs.com.

Yup and I use Webpack. The beauty is you get to take your pick. The downer is it's not set up for you. Tradeoffs for now...

Disclosure, I'm one of the creators of Feathers. You are right Feathers is MIT and so is Meteor. They both do real-time, albeit a bit differently, so we like to consider Meteor an alternative to Feathers and vice-versa. We are trying t

Nice work! I've been using base ( http://www.basscss.com/ ) for a couple years now. Any idea how it compares to this other than being ~1kb bigger?
