I recall something exactly like this on HN a few weeks ago, public with a unique URL for each wall, except it didn't have shared mouse pointers. What was that post?

Interesting. Couldn't find any post of it. If someone remember the name or post, please reply here. Good to know about similar products. :)

Here it is:

Are you using node.js for the whole stack? Or is there a Rails app running alongside for doing user accounts, payments, the marketing site/landing page etc?

It's all built on node.js. We used rails before to handle user accounts and static pages but realized we could make it all with node.js and MongoDB instead with some cool template language. :)

Are you using a library for the user stuff in mongo/node, if you don't mind me asking? I haven't found anything that seems better than devise/cancan.

I like it. Good MVP. I could see my ecommerce company using it. What features are you planning on rolling out?

Thanks! Just curious, how do you think you would use it? New features are coming, support for safari, IE9, iPad/iPhone and Android and then make current functionality smarter and better. We will also listen to users so they can say what they want us to focus on.

We've built a lot on our own. Maybe Senchalabs Connect can help you, otherwise check https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/modules. Don't know if it's better than devise/cancan though.
