Anything you can do to make it feel more engaging would be killer. I'd love to have someone like my additions or even just get notified when someone else adds more.

contestantYou should be able to share to Facebook/Twitter with the buttons on each poem, although I guess what you're asking for is more along the lines of upvoting in the app itself, which I think is a cool idea (it might also be useful to display a "most popular" kind of page based on that data).
Notifications are definitely a great idea and we'll look into adding those after NKO, either via email or twitter (we left this out of scope on purpose for NKO to focus on the poem mechanics themselves, and also to avoid spamming people during NKO).
Thanks for the stars!
Interesting stuff, the internet always needs more cat pictures. Seems like you could drop the multi thread stuff and just focus on having a bunch of people sharing stuff in real time all at once, and it could be a lot more fun.
Honestly, not a lot of helpful suggestions to add. Thought your design and functionality was pretty much perfect. I could see myself using this.
Good scores improved by the dramatic narrative in the demo video. Cool use of the web audio api as well.
Really like this concept, a big fan of collaborative music creation here.
The interface is pretty straightforward which is great, but it would be awesome if I could see what others are building and even fork them/play with them myself. Lots of inspiration would come out of it.
Bonus points for choosing to rebuild my favorite childhood game!
Sadly, ran into quite a few bugs around the game state being weird. It's a hard problem though, even the original game only had local network multiplayer :p
Really like this, you've obviously thought it through. It would be cool to take this the next step and figure out how you motivate people to get involved. Leaderboards are kinda cheesy but might work, even just making it real time could help engagement.
In any case, very cool stuff.
Lots of recipes and easy to use. I'd love to see a "how far off am I" view of sorts which would rank recipes by how close I am to actually being complete on ingredients.
Bonus points for at least trying to style bootstrap instead of just using the default :)
Obviously something nodejitsu should offer (git-based deploy is one of my favorite features of Heroku). It would be cool to see you take it one step further though. For example, could have a continuous integration server type of experience where I set this up once and github versions are automatically pushed going forward.

contestantThanks for the feedback. Funny you should mention CI, I am also the primary author of this CI/CD platform written in Node:

I intend to add Nodejitsu support to Strider.
Really interesting idea around collaborating over stack traces. I'd love to see something more interactive around the actual comment of the traces. The shared console is cool, but feels like pair programming more than a collaborative tool.

contestantSean - thanks for the feedback!
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "something more interactive around the actual comments of the traces", so I'd love to hear more of your thoughts.
The console was meant for use cases where you run into an issue where you are not the expert on, and want to bring someone else to debug and collaborate with you on figuring out what the issue is.
Best multiplayer engine i've seen so far, ran really smooth here. The controls are a bit finicky but that might be half the challenge. 8 bit styling is wicked :)
