My article is, indeed, targeted towards folks who did not do undergrad in CS! Self-taught people need better resources to understand more low level things. I have never taken a CS class, undergrad, high school, middle school, or otherwise.

Josh and I made WonderMap in 48 hours for Node Knockout. It's kinda a Google Keep and Evernote hybrid, but with key/value pairs and rich types. We'll continue adding more features! Please leave us a vote if it looks cool :)
