node.js ko

Worked well, and is a nice improvement over youtube's front-page. It would have been nicer if it were sort of merged with the twitter image stream app that was also in the NKO this year (i.e., show density by popularity on the globe map).

contestantI'll have to take a look at that app, sounds like they were thinking along the same lines as us. Thanks for your vote!
Super fun, and worked really smoothly!
This seems completely awesome (I love the idea of a JS wizard scripting about the land), except it was completely frozen when I tried to use it :(. There were what appeared to be 10 other people in the couple of times I entered the game, and I was unable to move, or cast spells (I mean, I could type in some code, but it had no effect). I was on Chrome 23.
This is really slick - I would use the full version when you get it completed :) --- I definitely like the idea and having groups come in on a card + gift.

contestantThank you very much for your vote! We plan to have it completed by early next week. Hope you use it and tell your friends!
Impressive that it's all working (smoothly), but I really wanted it to be interactive somehow (admittedly a defragmentation simulator makes that tough).
This was super fun! And it seemed to work pretty well (for "completeness", it would be awesome if there was some sort of image speedometer or something to tell me how fast images are streaming in - maybe add a heatmap overlay to the map so I can go zoom in to hot areas).

contestantSounds like a pretty good idea. Will definitely look at adding it if I continue the project after it is done. Thanks!
Seems like a port of Eclipse/VS UML editor to node; I wasn't able to get much working in this app - I got quite a few 500s trying to login and going to "panel", but did eventually get in. Once I was in the app, I was able to create a "Class", and nothing else, and the code tab just said "this is your tab" or some such (I can't see the screen anymore).
Anyway, I'm pretty sure the Node.js world doesn't use UML much, if at all, but you did say this was targeting Java.
Seems like an interesting thing to integrate into foursquare and/or pinterest; it seems like a pretty viable concept.
As you said in the screencast, the design/layout isn't really there yet, but I get the idea.
Unfortunately, I was unable to login at all, as the Google Login process kept dumping me this ->
Error: redirect_uri_mismatch The redirect URI in the request: http://rabid.nko3.jitsu.com/auth/google/callback did not match a registered redirect URI

contestantApparently node jitsu gives you two urls: jit.su and jitsu.com. I didn't know about that. I've added the second, if you at least wanted to see the login work.
Seems like something super fun to embed in another website. Takes me back to netscape navigator.
Look of the site was pretty plain; I would have liked to have seen at least a list of who else was in the same pane, and from the initial splash screen I thought it would be like chatroulette or a hangout (i.e., multiple parties).
That said, it didn't really work for me at all (Chrome 23 on Lion). I gave it permission to my webcam, but never got a stream to load - I was able to see somebody else's but it froze up completely after 5 or 10 seconds.
This is great - there's a lot of real-time apps in the NKO, that are also overlaid on the map, but this one was really smooth, and particularly useful.
