Written some node.js + socket.io applications in the past. I like that you packaged storing info in the database. This is a great tool for a hackathon but if you are doing anything more complicated I think you would want to write you own back-end. Good idea guys keep innovating.

Agree with you. Sounds nice to throw a quick prototype or small apps (btw http://scratchpad.io is awesome) for someone who dont know scalable/parallel technology such ar Erlang or Node.JS. If you are creating a startup and planning to charge customers, I suggest you invest in your backend.
