I've iterated twice on these kinds of projects. First was Drywall and the latest is Frame. Drywall includes a front-end and Frame is just an API. Finding a happy medium of features is tricky. Some choices limit your audience quite a bit.

Drywall [https://github.com/jedireza/drywall] Drywall is limited to people who're ok using Grunt instead of Gulp or Backbone instead of _______, etc...

Frame [https://github.com/jedireza/frame] I created Frame to appeal to a larger audience. And because all the front-end opinions were removed it plays nicer since you "bring your own front-end". Interestingly enough, now I'd like to provide Postgres as well as Mongo db connections.

In general these projects are interesting and I think serve best as examples of apps beyond the absolute basics. Once you make an app yours, it'll probably go in it's own direction quickly.

I find it interesting that there is little to no conversation about the integration with git. In one of the the screenshots I saw a branch name and icon in the bottom status bar. I assume this is an important motivation for GitHub.

Wow. nodestreams.com is great. It's really helpful to see the results of different chained combinations instantly. Thanks for making this John.

I'm happy to hear this. It was nice of Bjørn to build the node API in the first place. It's great that this became the official API, congrats all around.

Hey Jason, thanks for taking a look. Right now it's just an open source project of mine, not a business or anything. If something isn't clear after reading the GitHub page, please open an issue or send me an email. I've started breaking out wiki pages from questions I've received. My main focus right now is getting more eyes on the project and gathering feedback.

Since I've built user/admin systems for the majority of my career, this is really interesting to me. The site looks great and the Family Guy stuff is funny ("No,n0_p4ssword!") Hah.

I agree with the lion share of what WA said.

The MVP/prototype argument is a valid one, but remembering that nothing lasts forever, it's probably wise to think of these services as temporary tools and not permanent solutions.

I believe that user management is such an important (and basic) thing, that you should own it. For the hackers out there, feel free to checkout my Drywall project, which is a website user system build for node. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4951605

Screenhero has been a fantastic tool for me to help my parents with their computers. Simple. Useful. Currently free. I hope there is a pricing structure that would allow me to pay for it and still be able to help my parents without requiring them to pay for copies also.

I'm glad it's consumed on the command line instead of a web interface. Very nice work.

Stack Overflow fills the void all the other ranking sites couldn't or didn't. They put the people and content first and grew an amazing network in a short amount of time. I'm even concatenating `stackoverflow` to the end of my searches sometimes when I know the format I want my answer in.
