This is probably the best use of a slider I've seen on a website (and the main concept is nice too!). Out of curiosity what's the setup on the back-end?

Do they give out awards for that sort of thing? "Best slider of 2014"

The backend is using Node.js for the server and parser. Everything is in MongoDB and hosted on Heroku. I really love that stack for rapid prototyping, this project took me roughly 3-4 hours from start to finish.
