Telescope is an open-source social news app (think Hacker News or Reddit) built with Meteor, a real-time Javascript framework.
The Hacker News Kansai community uses Telescope to keep in touch and share ideas in between meetups.
Sidebar uses Telescope's digest view to display the 5 best design links of the day, as curated by a team of editors.
Leakmap is a dynamic roadmap for Meteor features that lets users vote on the feature they'd most like to see built next.
We're using everything we learned building Telescope to write the definitive guide to building Meteor apps.
Leave us your email, and we'll also send you weekly Meteor tips to help you get started.
Discuss Telescope over at Telescope Meta, or file bugs on GitHub.
