May I ask, how much work went into it? (compared to what you'd imagine it'd have taken you to do from scratch, using jQuery or something?) Because it's the slickest web-app I've seen in…well, ever!

Well, quite a bit, I guess... but not THAT much. I'm a full time freelance developer and I made this in my spare time over the past 3-4 months. I had the idea a year ago, but you know how that goes!

Congratulations. This is remarkable.
What's the backend like?

The index.html and Cappuccino javascript are served from an EC2 server and the new content is continuously loaded from sequential files on Amazon S3 via JSONP (0.json, 1.json, 2.json, etc.).
Views, suggesting events, and adding followees are sent to php pages on EC2 with MySQL.
