Great idea! I took notes on the installation of NodeFu on EC2. I would like to include them in the bootstrap readme in the repo so others can easily standup their own instances too.

so you need EC2 to use NodeFu? Not a dealbreaker, but I didn't get that from the splash page.

You can deploy it to your own instance of EC2 or Rackspace or GoGrid or you can run your apps directly on the http://NodeFu.com hosted platform.

Logo and company name seems very similar to http://www.nodejitsu.com It's also curious NodeFu seem to be using some of Nodejitsu's open-source offerings to make this work. ( https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy and https://github.com/indexzero/forever ). Are NodeFu and Nodejitsu the same company?

Am I missing something here? Because Nodejitsu's logo is a bonsai tree and NodeFu's is a ninja ...

I like the fu scheme. Great idea. Sensei, are you still giving out coupons? The site is down for me. /edit: It's now reachable again. Thanks.

The site had an out-of-memory error probably from all of the Mashable traffic. It's only been online for 2 days and needs more tuning. Thanks everyone!

Heroku does have experimental Node support if anyone is interested: http://blog.heroku.com/archives/2010/9/20/an_update_on_herok... And Joyent's Node service is pretty good too: https://no.de/

To complete the list: http://apps.jgate.de It is based on AppJet and CouchDB.

This proves, there is a lot of demand for such a solution and you had an idea, that people like a lot. Congrats.

Joyent employs ryah. They've been around for 6 years, although I'm not sure how long they've been doing server-side JS (at least since they bought Reasonably Smart at the start of 2009).

There is a huuuge demand for ssjs but hard core coders don't want to accept JS is a great programming language for the whole web stack, including mobile apps.
