Astromap

This is a mind-mapping application based on Meteor 1.2, at least as much as I can manage to write during the 2015 Meteor global hackathon.

At this point, don't mistake it for a working application !

Packages

meteor-base
mobile-experience
mongo
blaze-html-templates
session
jquery
tracker
standard-minifiers
es5-shim
ecmascript
autopublish - Yes, this is still work hardly begun...
insecure - ... So there is no point in removing those yet
chriswessels:hammer
twbs:bootstrap

Plus, of course, the unpackaged (yet) Mindmup MapJS library.

After the storm

I spent most of the time finding how to reuse the Mindmup MapJS front, which left little time to add reactivity or helper functions. Maybe in the future... after all, a collaborative mind mapping tool that can be deployed on a private network without a Ruby infra is a good thing. So maybe I'll find more time to work on this beyond the context of this hackathon, or even other interested devs will want to participate too.

Last update : Map events are synchronized between multiple instances of the app through Meteor. Last screenshot: two synced browsers

Browserification seems to have been a dead end. Loading the MapJS package directly from sources, the mind map is now correctly styled, without hacking MapJS. The synthetic events are caught in the Meteor app.

Some (little) progress: see screenshot.png. Upside: there are no longer any runtime errors. Downside: the arcs are incorrectly placed and filled instead of being just lines, and the container is not high enough.

First non-working version as a Meteor app. Previous iterations since the beginning of the hackathon were just analyzing the MapJS code.
