I'd actually like to do that too but have a hard time wrapping my head around the notion of building a website with node + nosql alone. My understanding is that node is best for realtime chat-like apps.. Is your project web related might I ask?

[grannyg00se]

Node is very handy for high transaction, short transfer, high connection count applications like chat. That's because of the non blocking single thread architecture, low overhead connections, and little bloat (small footprint).

However, that doesn't mean it isn't well suited for building a website. You'd probably want to include some add-ons for that though (eg: express).

Note that even for realtime chat-like apps you'll probably need some kind of datastore and in fact that example sounds like a great use case for nosql as a datastore.

Thank you for mentioning express, I'm now excited to use it in my next project!

Hi, sorry for the slow reply. As mentioned express is a good way to go for getting a website up with node.

Since you asked, my project is over here http://jobstractor.com if you want to take a look. My email is on the site so feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions. I'm planning on writing up my experience and a bit about how I've structured things so some questions might help me think through that.
