I've been using a quite different approach at structuring my Node.js applications: http://bergie.iki.fi/nodext/

With NodeXT you build the application out of multiple modules (extensions), which you then "mount" into the URL structure you want to use.

Helps keeping code more decoupled and reusable.

The namespace for FOSS is getting crowded: http://www.getskeleton.com/ Not a bad thing.

What's the distinction between controllers, helpers, and views?

Just yesterday I was searching for a decent coffeescript node.js generator, but the one's I've been using lately[1] haven't been up to date and this is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks!!

Interesting. I will take a look, thanks.

Very cool; I'll be playing around with this a bit, looks like a nice and fast way to get started with a Node web app.

Side note: generally good practice to throw your name into Google (for example, "skeleton framework" or some combination of relevant words) to see what was returned before landing on your name (http://www.getskeleton.com/)

This is a killer HTML/CSS boilerplate. It's clean and simple and does just enough to get a responsive layout up-and-running.
