meteor with mobile front-end UI framework [closed]

Has anyone integrated meteor with mobile front-end frameworks?

In making mobile html5 apps look "more native" there are a number of CSS/front-end frameworks. eg:

  • Meteoric http://meteoric.github.io/
  • http://onsenui.io/
  • http://topcoat.io/
  • http://jquerymobile.com/ (shudder)
  • http://goratchet.com/one.html
  • http://ionicframework.com/
  • App.js: http://code.kik.com/app/2/index.html
  • http://lungo.tapquo.com/
  • http://famo.us/
  • http://goratchet.com/
  • http://www.idangero.us/framework7/
  • Foundation for apps

and more. In comparison to plain Bootstrap, the main benefits are:

  • preloading content
  • smooth full-screen page navigation
  • mobile widgets with "native look" for ios/android

But these frameworks often have use their own MVC model, for example pre-loading content into offscreen DIVs and doing full-screen transitions. they often use an internal router or Pushstate which would conflict with Meteor/IronRouter. And ionic for example depends on angular...

Has anyone had success with this type of integration? Any leads appreciated.

Meteoric http://meteoric.github.io/ is a port of ionic, to remove the Angular stuff, and make some UI parts reactive. EDIT: not being updated now that angular is an option to jam into meteor itself.

this does seem like a great solution for mobile, but won't help if you want one UI to be responsive across to desktop devices too. they have deliberately kept the grid simple and mobile focused.
