We've Open-sourced Rendr

Fourth link on the page links to http://nerds.airbnb.com/github.com/airbnb/rendr-app-template (which obviously does not work) instead of http://github.com/airbnb/rendr-app-template

Indeed it does. Thanks for the heads up, we'll change that.

Posts like this makes me think Airbnb is a awesome place to work. Sharing is caring!

Are there any similar efforts to tie the server with the client, reducing duplication, for Angular?

The first thing I thought of that is similar to Rendr is http://meteor.com/ . I'm not sure about how it works with Angular. It does describe itself as a framework where Rendr describes itself as a library, so I'd think it'd be easier to run Angular stuff on top of Rendr.

I'm not sure I fully understand this, is this just for SEO? Why not run the page in phantomJS, which is what we do at https://circleci.com, and what meteor apps do, and any others?
