Tech Stack
Slatebox is built with Meteor using React and Material UI. Native to Meteor development is Mongo as the backend; Slatebox Cloud extends the real-time performance of Meteor by implementing the redis oplog caching layer, but this performance improvement is not baked into the Slatebox community edition.
Slateboxjs is the MIT-licensed diagramming library used.
