How much money do you think has been spent building Tinder?
How much time do you think it has taken Tinder to built their app?
How many lines of code do you think were in version 1, let alone in the version that’s live today?
I am sure by now the bill is into the millions however what is scary is that a clone can be created with 150 lines of code when you use the Meteor framework.
Yes you are reading that right 150 line not 15,000 or 150,000 just 150!

But if you are saying great but what does this mean for me? 
This means that due to the advancements in Javascript software platforms like Meteor you can do more with less with app development and software dev than ever before.
We are finding that on most projects One MeteorNerd can handle the tasks of 3 developers in comparison to when we used other platforms. We are not losing time on projects and actually gaining time. Meteor is allowing us to create truly intelligent and interactive apps like never before.
Let me put this into context for you:

1. We have created MVP’s in 21 days. That means from IDEA to finished MVP code in 3 weeks!
2. We have launched saleable products in 30 days! Correct started with idea and built it to be selling within 30 days including the front end site, server and great functionality.
3. We have launched advanced CRM’s in 90 days! Talk about a massive project any type of Customer Relationship Management is like eating an elephant with chopsticks. 

So if you are looking to launch your Minimum Viable Product (MVP) you should really assess Meteor as the platform to allow you to do this. It will allow you to create and test your MVP while also giving you the base foundation of your platform to continue development when you are ready.
There is nothing worse than having to throw away your MVP code base because you are moving to a better or the real platform. What a waste of time, energy and momentum. What is most important in your startup is momentum.
