I've been following a very similar approach, writing a web app for an upcoming launch. The hardest part is keeping everything in your head. When you have a cache on the client, a cache on the backend, several databases, throw in some ajax requests and command line scripts, it becomes very difficult to sanely architect a web app in one page.

That said, it is very possible, but it requires that you bend your design to fit the model.

I believe there is a firm need now (and will become more urgent as time goes on) for a solid framework that can deliver single-page off-line-accessible apps. Somehow, I think Node.js would be the perfect platform for it.
