Have you tried hanging out in the node.js IRC channel? Help is just a step away! The node mailing lists are also pretty helpful. You can also feel free to email me (email in profile) - I have been working on node for more than a year now on a decent sized project.

I tried the IRC channel about a year ago, but at that time i was so new to Node that i felt a little out of place. It seems you had to be at least intermediate level with node to really start chatting to people. You have to remember that i'm new to programming itself as well as Node.

Yes, people just drop into the IRC channel and ask questions. The worst thing that can possibly happen is you hear no answer (mostly because no one might be around).

So, instead of asking something vague - ask about specific areas you are facing problems with. Also, when asking a question, explaining what you tried to do to solve the problem yourselves helps people better understand your problem and offer constructive help.

That app sounds interesting. Is it in the Android Market/Play Shop?

It's not in Android market. Just installed directly on to my phone. I should probably package it and put it up there. In the meantime, feel free to fork it and use it yourself.

This is probably asking too much but for those of us who are not familiar do you have a link for this?
