The acronym stands for 'Post Anonymously, Tag, Share, Search, Save, Repeat' - but saying PATSR sounds much cooler. It is open source too! (GPL V3.0) https://github.com/jpwall/patsr Feel free to test it out with whatever post[s] you like, comment here for feedback, or even some pull requests if contributing ever interests you! This was created mainly as an exercise in mongodb, node.js, and express. I decided to publish it online recently as well. There is no client-side JS.

No client-side JS makes me so very happy.

But I do wonder, the first thing I want to do, as soon as I see a post, is comment on it. Or vote. Or both. Is there anything like that would be simple enough to pull in? (Could mongo handle posts as well, or is the spam detection people expect just too huge a problem to solve for this project at the moment?)

I feel as though commenting on a post is definitely a possibility and seems as though you are not the only one that would want that feature (myself included).

That shall be the next large feature to be integrated! Thanks for the comment!

I will try to do so while leaving client-side JS out of it :P

So the comments and cross-linking is cool... But maybe comments shouldn't hit the frontpage? Its looking a fair bit confusing at the moment.

Great to hear, I'll keep an eye on it!

Can you tell me what other experience you have working with the web is and your experience with nodejs/express?

Sure! I have some experience working with the web. My experience is mainly from developing static websites in HTML and CSS. I have created a personal/portfolio site along with a few other sites for school projects and other purposes. When it comes to my nodejs and express, I have very little aside from this project. I have also created an npm module and would have for this project but it made more sense to me to keep it as a GitHub project. The npm module I had previously created was a CLI tool to make using git easier, called 'egit' or easy-git. So, all in all, I have a fair amount of experience in static website development but this whole front of nodejs/express/jade is quite new to me

Sorry someone else made it sound like my question was rude and I didn't intend that at all. Thanks for the answer. I've done a lot of work in mobile and have been wanting to do more web work so I was just wondering what you thought about it overall. I was more interested in your personal opinions on node/express as opposed to your background. It just helps if someone goes from something like fortran to nodejs compared to php to nodejs their opinions would differ greatly.

Oh I see, your first question makes much more sense now. As a whole I feel as though it was a very easy system for me to pick up. When trying to compare with another system, I am not quite so sure as I haven't used many others. Hope this helps!

Why ask that?

It sounds like the op is trying out node/express coming from a different background. I have some experience with PHP and have done a lot of mobile work but I'm looking to do some more web (and was wondering what the op thought of node/express).
