ThinAir

PITA-less Web Development Framework built with Node.js. Developed by Tommy Bergeron.
Project status: Ready for development Build Status

Goals

The main goal of ThinAir is to give a basic but versatile set of tools to Node.js user and newcomers for building web applications.

This ain't no revolution, but a simple, concised way of achieving what you want without having to re-invent the wheel.

Another goal I have in mind while doing this project is to show everyone (even PHP developers!) that Node.js projects are fun, flexible and can finally replace those old technologies once and for all.

If this is still unclear for you, go checkout the FAQ.

TL;DR: Simple MVC framework based on Node.js and MongoDB.
