Ionic is great when you just need a UI layer and you take the responsibility of creating a backend. Meteor is more of a full-stack solution. So, why not combine both - Ionic and Meteor? So, here comes Meteoric. Meteoric aims to replace the Angular directives in Ionic with Meteor Blaze templates. Although I have never used it, I have heard many good things about it. So, if you want to build cross platform UIs for Android and iOS I will suggest you to give it a try.
