That is a really cool site, and a really great idea! Nice work.

I'm curious why a "real-time" framework is needed for this type of app, though -- why not Backbone with REST? Is it so that you can view others' pages to see their habits/dailies/todos get updated in real-time...?

As far as I know, this was a project that wasn't expected to get this big — more about learning Derby for the developer. And then it got big :)

tl;dr: No big reason. He likely agrees with you.
