Telescope is an open-source, real-time social news site built with Meteor

Note: Telescope is beta software. Most of it should work but it's still a little unpolished and you'll probably find some bugs. Use at your own risk :)

Hosting Telescope

I recommend using either Meteor's own free hosting service, or checking out Modulus.

First Run

  • Fill in your Twitter keys (by clicking on "Sign Up/Sign in" in your Telescope top bar)
  • The first user account created will automatically be made admin
  • Check out the settings page and fill out basic things like the site's name

Local Variables

Meteor uses local environment variables for a few things, such as configuring email. While some platforms (like Modulus) make it easy to configure them from their web dashboard, on a local dev environment the best way is to set up an alias for the mrt command. For example, to configure Meteor to use Mailgun for email, in your .bash_profile file just add: alias m='MAIL_URL=smtp://username:password@smtp.mailgun.org:587/ mrt'

This can also be useful for starting Meteor on a specific port: alias m4='MAIL_URL=smtp://username:password@smtp.mailgun.org:587/ mrt --port 4000'
