Most of these are small utilities (e.g. node-mkdirp), but a few are really significant contributions to the Node community. node-bigint, for instance, is a very robust, efficient library for doing infinite-precision arithmetic (a fairly common necessity, since every number in JavaScript is a 64-bit float and there's no way of knowing when you lose precision).

James and Peteris are two of the most amazing devs I've seen in a long time. They ship and ship and ship and ship.

The first version of StackVM (Browserling's underlying technology) was written in Haskell. They switched to Node close to two years ago if I'm not mistaken. I've gotten an early look at Testling, their cross browser testing web testing tools, and they're easily a year or two ahead of anyone else on the market. I'm looking forward to seeing it launch.

Hook James and Peteris up by purchasing a paid plan: http://browserling.com/pricing

Better yet, ping them about buying a corporate plan for your company: http://browserling.com/contact

They are amazing and Browserling is very handy, but they really need to hire a designer. A lot of their customers are going to be designers, there is no reason to have such a dated look.

I agree. It's a shame to have such a forward looking product be encased in such dated design
