Google in cooperation with Ubilabs created a Google Street View experience of the world's largest model railway exhibit, the Hamburg Miniatur Wunderland.
I think this is a great app and an interesting idea, but one of the few projects where I could see the name being a problem for traction and success. A more generic name, which doesnt associate neccessarily with parties and drinking, would enable more people to take this app serious.
And well, like for all social apps, I really hope that more plattforms are very close on your roadmap =)
Why wasnt a web-based approach with the opportunity to compile down to hybrid-apps not an option?
Good luck anyway, hope to see you successful, since I really like the idea =)

Before I clicked the link and watched the video, my first thought was that it was something related to AA or sobriety in general. I can see how this may be a problem for traction and for people telling their friends about it. Until someone explains how it works a large number of people may think the name relates to addiction.
The color scheme of black and gold adds on to that inebriated vibe. A more generic name might appeal to a broader audience, unless your app is indeed targeted at the party and drinking crowd.
hmm, not sure. The CS 101 class (Build a Search Engine) does use Python.
The class description only say the following: "Learn about programming languages while building a web browser! You will understand JavaScript and HTML from the inside-out in this exciting class."
You may wonder, why i posted this on HN. I simply thought that this would be the first live streaming play on youtube to a big audience and they address a critical subject. In my opinion it's interesting to see what effect such an event could have to people who are watching it live and who are able to give instant feedback and how it effects the mainstream. I see great opportunities in such formats to present a critical subject to interact with the audience and last but least, the cast for this play on youtube is amazing :D
I would be careful with this tutorial because it's almost one year old and many things changed in Node and Mongoose. But it's a very good tutorial and it helped me a lot to understand how to get things done with Node and MongoDB. Maybe just watch it and get into it but dont copy/paste the code. =)
