I'm a senior developer at @bocoup, creator of @gruntjs, and frequent contributor to @jquery. I also coined the term IIFE and play a mean funk bass.

Really cool idea. The interface felt a little clunky, but once I figured it out, I was fine.
The problem is that it's really easy to create a bass line that's really hard to figure out by using awkward intervals. Maybe there could be different skill levels, where the beginner mode had less notes available per beat with maybe a slower tempo, and an advanced mode could be full speed with more complex note choices.
Either way, very cool!
Great idea, I think. It's hard to tell, because this just behaves like an incompletely implemented debugger.
I see errors being logged in the web console like "ERROR: 250270" but I can't click on them to see where that error was generated, nor can I tell the debugger to pause on exceptions in any way.
I want to like this, but I'm not sure how it's useful. Either way, it looks nice.

contestantBen - thanks fo the feedback!
Regarding the errors printed out, those are just errors printed out with console.error, so there is no stack trace or anything attached to them.
The debugger will pause on uncaught exceptions by default, but we didn't have time to implement enabling/disabling other exceptions.
Again, thanks for the feedback! If there is anything you'd like us to see implemented.
I wanted to test this app, but there's absolutely no way I'm giving it write access to my GitHub account. Only read access should be necessary.

contestantReally????? You don't want to use it so you give it all 1's? There is a video walking you through the entire experience, so you don't have to use it if it bothers you, but you can still be professional as a judge and review the actual product. Otherwise, just don't review it.
To access and analyze all of your repos including private ones, we have to requeset full access. It is required by Github.
What do we need to do to invalidate your review, and really you as a judge, because I don't trust any of the reviews you've given any of the apps as honost and inpartial. You gave chat apps 5s. I think that says enough.

Well, I don't want you analyzing my private repos either. How about analyzing just my public repos and not asking me for write permission?
I can't even look at someone else's public repo without giving you write access to my repos, eg. http://gitcanary.com/jquery/jquery
Either way, I'll update my vote to reflect the fact that I think it's a good idea. But the implementation sets too high of a bar for me to be able to use it.

You can't even look at public repos right now because we don't store anything locally. We pull all code dynamically with the permissions on your user at that instant.
We're working on tweaking the github auth so that initially you only get read access to public projects and you upgrade to see your private repos. That update will be ready and pushed after the contest. However, for the sake of a 48 hour contest, we didn't have time to tweak permissions and also wanted to make sure everyone had repos to look at.
We appreciate you reconsidering your scores as we worked really hard on this project, and we think it turned out really well given the limitations of time.
Cool game, great design. The round color blip seemed to warp around from time to time, but overall the game worked well.
Nobody to play against though - you need some AI.
A real-time chat app in Node isn't exactly the most innovative idea, but this works. It's got a clean design, it's easy to use and seems pretty reliable. Cool!
Great idea, clean design. Would really be useful if it suggested better-performing alternative flights with the same endpoints as the flight number in question. Might be cool to show some general best/worst flight statistics as well.
Awesome idea, but your REPL sucks. Fix it up and release it!
As far as I can see, this entry has absolutely nothing to do with Node, except for the possibility that the underlying coffee-script was compiled into JS presumably in Node.
That being said, it's the first entry I've seen that both made me laugh and didn't explode with a ton of errors, so there's that.
Can't get it to work. Even after changing "/js/hornet.min.js" in the tracker code to "http://moveo.nko3.jitsu.com/js/hornet.min.js". Great idea, though.
This game is absolutely amazing. I've been playing it for 30 minutes. And I just saw a dinosaur, WTF. You guys win.
