This is a problem I've had before. I couldn't find anything that I needed or wanted. Recently though, AngularJS has struck a chord, so maybe I'll give that a try.
I know there isn't much on the landing page at the moment, so I'll leave a little bit here about what we're doing with Piratica.
Basically, it's more difficult to find technical resources than it should be. With Piratica we want to foster a community-curated environment where anyone can go to learn about anything technical.
Want to find some resources on Python? Just check out the Python tag and you'll see everything that our members thought was good enough to share. Same goes with any other topic.
We want to make life easier for you, so check out the site and leave us your email so we can let you know when we launch.
This had the potential to be interesting, but I have no idea what anything does or why I should care, so I left.
Put some time into making the UI more friendly and consider something like Intro.js that gives user's a tour and helps them see the value in your site.
This is something I've just gone through building Anonymous IRC (http://anonirc.co/). I found the best way to do things was to just jump in and get dirty. It probably took longer than it would have if I had a good tutorial, but I couldn't find a tutorial that was worth using (albeit I didn't try very hard). Express' documentation is just the worst though. Just play around with it.
It's seems like this will be the plan. Are there any other useful extensions for express that I should be aware of? I currently have it set up with just express and jade. I've been looking into passport for user authentication and _(underscore) seems interesting as well.
Because I come from a Ruby/Rails background, I opted to go with EJS over Jade. The syntax for EJS is identical to that of Rails (to the extent that, when working with Rails, the <% %> EJS tag becomes <%% %>, so as not to conflict with the <% %> Rails tag.).
The project I've just finished working on is called Anonymous IRC. The idea is that, especially recently, not everyone feels comfortable being monitored. Once you are done chatting, all your information is erased.
