We are on a micro startup kick right now experimenting with dead simple MVPs. GetTexty.com was built on a custom rolled Node.js framework we call Gin (more to come later). Text messaging is not glamorous, but playing with all the new tech is. ;-) Would love some feedback.

I love the simplicity. Are you guys using express on the back end? I noticed that there are no standard requests going through for submitting forms. How did you guys accomplish that? Keep up the good work!

No, we're using a custom framework on the backend. We call it "Gin." The form submission is something we've been playing with for a while - We do the form submissions through a socket to increase performance and make the user experience lightening fast.
