Create remote staging branch with custom name "my-app-name". This will become my-app-name.herokuapp.com

heroku create my-app-name --remote staging

Add the Meteor build pack Meteor Buildpack Horse

heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/AdmitHub/meteor-buildpack-horse.git

API = {
  handleRequest: function( context, resource, method ) {
    var connection = API.connection( context.request, resource );
    if ( !connection.error ) {
      API.methods[ 'execute' ][ method ]( context, connection, resource );
    } else {
      API.utility.response( context, 401, connection );

Screencapture and animated gifs

I say "animated gif" but in reality I think it's irresponsible to be serving "real" GIF files to people now. You should be serving gfy's, gifv's, webm, mp4s, whatever. They're a fraction of the filesize making it easier for you to deliver high fidelity, full color animation very quickly, especially on bad mobile connections. (But I suppose if you're just doing this for small audiences (like bug reporting), then LICEcap is a good solution).

Capturing (Easy)

1. Launch quicktime player
2. do Screen recording

possibilities

From Meteor's documentation:

In Meteor, your server code runs in a single thread per request, not in the asynchronous callback style typical of Node. We find the linear execution model a better fit for the typical server code in a Meteor application.

This guide serves as a mini-tour of tools, trix and patterns that can be used to run async code in Meteor.

Basic async

Sometimes we need to run async code in Meteor.methods. For this we create a Future to block until the async code has finished. This pattern can be seen all over Meteor's own codebase:
