Too Long; Didn't Read
Three years ago, I released an <a href="https://github.com/SocketCluster/sc-sample-inventory" target="_blank">open source boilerplate application</a> as a proof of concept to demonstrate an approach to build real-time CRUD applications using <a href="https://www.rethinkdb.com/" target="_blank">RethinkDB</a>, <a href="https://socketcluster.io/" target="_blank">SocketCluster</a> and Google’s <a href="https://www.polymer-project.org/" target="_blank">Polymer</a> framework. Although it received a lot of attention initially, that approach did not see any serious adoption and so I stopped thinking about it for a while.
