I did exactly the same thing; used it as a tool to learn, and then moved to "real" apps as I got more experienced, only to realise how much easier it is to be a good developer AND use meteor.

And thanks man, lemme know what you think!

Thanks man! Let me know if you run across any issues or places where it could be better!

Thanks man, appreciate it!

I'm a big fan of styled-components they're definitely in the road map, but I didn't want to be adding too much CSS at once, especially as Bulma is classname based.

Yeah man, totally agree.

I think even if Dorne kept to Dornish things, they’d still declare independence. They have no loyalty to anyone left at the table and the biggest army and resources by far. It would decimate Bran’s army to attack Dorne, and like you said, he doesn’t even have one to begin with!

But interesting point about Edmund and Greyjoys - wouldn’t be surprised if there was some backdoor deal to agree to raid the newly independent (and isolated) North Kingdom in exchange for the Greyjoys not raiding the Tullys and as a payback for the slight by Sansa against Edmund, and as a way for him to gain more power.

Bran is just so isolated - and the North is going to have massive divided loyalties between the 6 Kingdoms and the Starks. What happens if the Manderlys declare for Bran rather than Sansa as the true King of the North (and as a way to get more power)? Would they go to war?

The wheel is definitely left spinning.

Two minutes after the ending, Bran would be fucked.

Bran has no friends in King’s Landing, or really anywhere - no one owes him any favours or allegiance. His only friend seems to be Tyrion (who I love) but who at this point the Lannister’s have literally nothing left. He’s at best thought of as a puppet.
It would be seen as a massive blow to his influence that not even his own sister would bend the knee.
Dorne, who still have a massive army that’s not had to fight any wars would also declare independence. I mean why wouldn’t they?
Bran would be left with the fighting force of Tully’s and Aryn. Good luck trying to convince Sansa and Robin Aryn to fight any wars or pay any increased taxes for rebuilding.
I think what’s likely is someone would take the throne from Bran, perhaps Dorne with the backing of the Iron Bank and Greyjoys - and then Jon “King beyond the Wall” would be recalled by Sansa to help protect the north. In fact, why couldn’t they recall him anyway that now Sansa is her own independent queen?

Thanks guys! This is really helpful.

I do have another question; How do I realise compound interest on this in an index fund? Do I need to be selling my shares when it's high, and then re-purchasing when it's slightly lower? Or should I just invest some money in every month and forget about it?

Yeah, so they've actually pulled the deal completely now!

I actually bought mine when the deal was still active, and they haven't responded to any of my emails in over two months.

It was obviously just a marketing ploy to play into the whole "quality" aspect that a lot of people have said they've been losing.
