Re:Show HN: Eng.gd - an experiment in Backbone to easily tel... by brandoncarl on Wednesday May 01, 2013 @12:23PM (#5638913)
Hi all - this is my first big project using a combination of MongoDB, S3, Node, Backbone and CoffeeScript. Big not in the sense of scale, but in the extra work that is involved in making an interface usable.

My goal was to create a site for couples to "bookmark" their engagement stories that was extremely easy to use. As such, the app focuses heavily on contenteditables and step-by-step instructions. Most notably is a "storybook" effect: user's photos are stored in color and black and white and "spring to life" on scrolling.

You can see our friends' story here as an example: http://www.eng.gd/8i4Q1d

Enjoy!
