Meteor 0.3.9 adds search engine optimization

Yeah, it's definitely the kind of solution that makes you twitch a bit. The reason we wrote it is because we needed it now for meteor.com, and it wasn't too much engineering work (I think Nick wrote the first version over a weekend, and then it was a couple days of packaging it up). The reason we released it is, well, why not? :)

The "real solution" is coming, and we will get it right. It's connected to URL routing, and sending down initial HTML on page load. We're all excited for the day when Meteor apps initialize the client session on the server. It will look at first glance like a traditional server-side app. :)

Did you guys think about just building a normal website?

Did you look into using Zombie instead of PhantomJS? It advertises itself as a tool for headless full stack testing utility but I have come to rely on it for integrating headless browsing in node.js apps.

Not affiliated with meteor but I have a similar setup.

I have tried zombie but there were various issues with getting it to work. Phantomjs was just much more painless.

+1 for Zombie. I have been using it for acceptance testing with mocha and it works quite well for emulating the browser environment. The nice thing is its just an npm module that you can require and works within the js environment.
