Very cool idea, kudos! Just minor nitpicks:

You could do with a clearer message regarding the actual rules of the game. I'm logged in right now and I still don't know the exact mechanics of what it is I'm doing there.

It's spelled "Independent" ;-)

Clicking on user names shouldn't trigger an internal server error. I think it's actually fine if you don't have user pages right now, just link to their Twitter profiles.

All in all: for a 48h node-learning session this is awesome work!

yeah, as a one man team it was a scramble to be allt he "vanity pages" up in time - user pages being one of them, i cant commit anymore and linking to twitter profiles would have been far better, but having an ap that didnt crash was higher priority.

lots of the features that dont work now are there in code, but commented out cus i couldnt afford for them to influence the apps ability to stay online. a shame really. :)

thanks tho

I know its not finished, and it pains me to no end, but as a solo contestant just starting out in Node, twas the best I could do in 48 hours.

EDIT: Pity/consolation votes welcome :)

Any relation to the Android app turf? (http://www.turfa.se/)

Whoa, nope, never heard-of/seen that one before now, (I hate it when that happens.)

  (I hate it when that happens.)

We all know the feeling. Don't be discouraged, it's nearly impossible to do anything that hasn't, in some way, been done before. Just stick to your original idea and ignore the rest.
