Hey tomasien, I've thought about making this into a service but haven't had time working on my current startup. In the mean time there are some folks that are solving the same problem check them out http://flavors.me/
Good point. The reason was so I can swap from Django to Node easily if I wanted to without to much work and so the page can load faster on first request... I can probably change that eventually or just wait for a pull request :)
