Talk:MEAN (solution stack)

Should MEAN still be indicated as open-source, as MongoDB's license is no longer recognized as such?

Proposed Deletion is Unfounded
Recently, a contributor added a proposed deletion (PROD), suggesting that this article is insufficiently notable to warrant a wikipedia article. I disagree. The MEAN stack is common vernacular amongst hackathon participants, as I may attribute writing this at the Spring 2015 PennApps hackathon, and as may be corroborated by Valeri Karpov in his blog post coining the term.

If anyone disagrees, particularly he who added the PROD (RHaworth), and  he who replaced it after it was removed (CanadianLinuxUser), the latter with no other explanation than the edit summary "Please do not remove tag," I invite you to comment. Mmpozulp (talk) 22:06, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
 * IF one reads the Proposed deletion notice is clearly states 'The article may be deleted if this message remains in place for seven days, i.e., after 14:25, 23 January 2015 (UTC).'  Please wait the 7 days. CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 23:47, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the reply and the suggestion to read the PROD notice more closely. In the PROD article, under the bold text declaring that "There are three steps to the PROD process," step 2 says: "If anybody objects to the deletion (usually by removing the tag - see full instructions below), the proposal is aborted and may not be re-proposed." Did not contributor at 62.6.248.134 object and remove the tag? I as well object. I would remove the tag if I did not believe that you, in violation of the PROD process, will immediately replace it once again. Did you simply misunderstand the intent or process of the PROD?

 * I put it back... I missed the note "If anyone, including the article creator, removes a "proposed deletion/dated" tag from an article, do not replace it... CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 15:21, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

I think it's probably good too leave it, but it needs to be expanded. When/how/why is the MEAN stack typically used? 75.158.23.29 (talk) 23:52, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Meaningless language - angular section
The article says (with my comments in brackets): "Typically data is fetched [from where] using Ajax techniques and rendered in the browser on the client-side by a client-side application framework [by "typically" does the author mean if not using MEAN?], however as the stack [I guess here the author means the MEAN stack] is commonly entirely JavaScript-based, in some implementations of the stack, server-side rendering where the rendering of the initial page can be offloaded to a server is used so that the initial data can be prefetched before it is loaded in the user's browser".

Okay after reading it a second time I realise that Angular must be server side, but it would be better for this to be explicitly stated. Something like:


 * "Angular is a server side web rendering application that enables web objects to be pre-built before being sent to a client browser."

would be more succinct as well as being more informative. FreeFlow99 (talk) 05:56, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
