Polymer (https://www.polymer-project.org/) is ambitious. It is ambitious in the very best possible way, in that, if it succeeds, it will make our development lives so much better.

One of the largest time-wasting activities we as web developers go through is tweaking CSS, repositioning DOM elements, and trying to manually code animations. It's not that those things are bad (some of us quite enjoy well-designed components); It's that nearly every time, our efforts are thrown away when a new project or design theme is introduced.

Through the use of reusable, reliable components that work the same on every modern browser (or at least that's the goal — ambitious, right?), Polymer intends to abstract the design from the development, allowing developers to focus on development, and designers to focus on design.

This recipe will show you how to use Polymer components inside a Meteor application.
