Hello Alex, Floby! Thanks for your participation.
As for UI - Totally Agree, capitalized. We had extjs as a requirement back then, and really only used it to illustrate node's REST API services. Will defo switch to something fancier later. We are not really happy with Ext in any way, especially after working for a while with it. Grunt, deployment descriptors to NodeJitsu and Joyent - yeah, great idea. If we add a couple of description pages on how to fire up the application, developer-in-study could have their app running in the Internet in like 5 minutes, mostly spent for account creation on hosters'. As for indentation - we'll look into that; really have to comply with all the projects' guidelines (which tell to use 4-space), but I also felt that's a little wider than it should be. Thanks all, Will keep posted on significant updates to the app -- anyway we were planning to plug in fancy testing of everything (just as an illustrative setup) next. Good night, Alex.
