Looks interesting. I looked at Geckoboard a while ago but gave up since the dashboards didn't offer the flexibility I needed at the time, and they were just too slow to render (I don't have a dedicated screen, just want to it the page often). One issue: I tried to sign up using Chrome 20 (Windows 7) and the dialog that appears is below the video in the Z-order.

My suggestion, is that if you're going to build a product for a tech audience, and you use bootstrap (which is a great idea btw), spend some time to make it not look like every other bootstrap site. I'm looking at you black fixed global nav bar.

Also, talk about the three Zeros instead in the three Zs. 'ZZZ' means asleep or bored.

I hope the /root/ refers to the site's root directory and not root user's home directory.

At least this confirms that it's actually running socketstream...

Looks very feature rich ... but to be honest the aesthetics need work. A huge part of this space relates to appearance obviously and the sample dashboards just don't look as polished as the competitors, even if they offer more widgets and options.

Seen a couple of startup's sites go down when they make the HN homepage lately, and both seem to be using node.js (according to the error messages). Not dissing node.js, but maybe its the wrong tool for the job.. Just use a static site for your landing page!
