Show HN: Empress - Blogging with Ember.js and Github

It's great to see an open sourced Ember.js project on the front page. I've spend most of the last year working with, around, and on top it. But, and this is a but of serious hesitation, why would you use Ember.js for a blog like this?

I'm nearly positive the answer is just "to learn Ember" - in which case, great!

To everyone else: don't start using a JS MVC framework for your real projects without seriously justifying their use in the first place. They should absolutely not be considered part of a default app stack. You will go through so much pain in doing so, and that pain needs to explain itself, in the concrete terms of the project requirements.

I'm intrigued, and I'll play around with it when I get home.

I recommend that you put up some kind of sample blog with it on github as a demo of the look-and-feel; the first thing I tried to do was go to hodgesmr.github.io to see what it looked like, and I was disappointed :-\

Interesting, do you have an example site set up we can check out?
