Really awesome app! I like the design, and it's definitely got great functionality.
A little curious -- what's your middle/backend like? Curious which frameworks/platforms you chose

Would seem to me that he has a Node backend. Most of the heavy lifting seems to be done in the front-end with Backbone/jQuery.

Thank you!
The setup:
AppEngine, HTML5BP, Bootstrap (I got rid of the rounded corners), jQuery, Backbone, Require.js, Less and Moment.js.
To resolve the question and answer content, I make a request out through YQL for the given question_id. For all the StackOverflow information I'm using the StackExchange API. For icons, I'm using the Pictos web font and for fonts, Google Web Fonts.
It's a pretty slim app, tbh. I was originally thinking about posting the code up on GitHub. Thoughts?

#14Very cool stuff, just spent 10 minutes on it out of sheer curiosity.
Perhaps you could expand the question/answer section a bit. Since I'm on a laptop it was a bit difficult to read.

I've been really digging AppEngine and Python lately. You're right that most of the work is done on the front-end, but I enjoy many things about the AppEngine ecosystem and in this case the ease in integrating user auth was one of the reasons I decided to go with it.

+1 vote for github. Seems like a wonderful learning opportunity for others.

#17Wow...this is cool. I was going to build something similar to this - but call it "best of stackoverflow.com".
I was actually going to focus on the tags, and the individual questions - rather than the answerers.
That's an interesting approach.
I wonder if just clicking on the tags and seeing the top voted questions/answer combo would be just as interesting.
Nice UI though.

#18Great idea and execution! Very good work.
One thing I immediately wanted is the ability to search through tags. An insta-search widget would be cool. Also, selecting multiple tags might be nice, but I don't know if you're limited by the API.
Keep it up, I look forward to seeing more releases.

Same here, I spent minutes loading tags and C-F-ing for Smalltalk, until I gave up.
