What’s Next For Feathers?

Since our official release of Feathers 2 quite a few people have been asking, “Where did Feathers come from?”. Even more have been asking what our plans are. We dropped a few hints on the SpaceDojo podcast but based on your feedback so far, the core team has finalized what we want…

That’s why we are going to be posting updates to Medium every 2–4 weeks in a “What’s New With Feathers” series. We think that Medium is the perfect platform to share these updates because it’s easy to digest at your leisure but still allows you to get your input in when you have time.

From Mongoose Models to a Real-time API with FeathersJS

The story of a migrationA couple of months ago, I started working on a collaborative platform for people to efficiently work together on projects, with some cool integrations like Slack to notify users about important events from the Slack team, and Trello to keep an eye on the project realisation. ¶ To make things simple, we’ll focus on the questions & answers module, a simple feature similar to StackOverflow where people can ask questions and get answers.
