Meteor passed Impress.js to become the 10th most starred repository on GitHub in March. The document then discusses Meteor's key features like using JavaScript on both the client and server, its integration of MongoDB, support for mobile development with Cordova, and deployment to production. It provides instructions on installing Meteor, creating an app, and deploying to mobile or production environments.
