Can someone point to some more complicated apps that have been built with Node.js? Seems like people always point to some application to validate that Node.js is real and a viable substitute to Rails/Django/Whatever, but then those apps turn out to be incredibly shallow.
Even this article's proof positive is a one feature ultra simplistic web app.
Where are the Amazons, GitHubs, Diggs, Onions, etc..
Considering that most sites will have to scale on features before they have to worry about scaling on performance it seems like too much focus is put on the groovy non-blocking nature of Node.js.
- tjarratt 16y agoGiven that I'm writing a client/server app that uses messaging and multi-party communication as an integral feature, you might find the node.js chatroom that Ryan wrote to be interesting. http://chat.nodejs.org/ http://chat.nodejs.org/ It's fairly basic, but I'm not sure what you're looking for given that it hasn't been available for very long. Amazon, github, digg, onion, were all built on very mature technology.
