Are there any examples of non-trivial apps using this technology stack? We all saw the endless stream of rails blog apps back when that was cool, and now we're seeing the same thing with these todo and chat apps. I'd like to look at some code that has more warts on it.

This is just one "layer" of this particular stack, but if you're looking for real-world-warts-n-all examples of Backbone.js, here's a few examples to scroll through:

If you pop open a JS console, many of them have models and controllers that you can poke around with.

Conversely, if you have an example that you think should be on that list, let me know.

I wouldn't mind seeing something more robust, but from what I know, he just finished this so it might take a bit for a non-trivial example.
