This is really nice and a great way to rapidly build without resorting to templates or bootstrap. Highly polished, great work. We released something built on the same stack (jade, stylus, coffeescript) that's a bit more lightweight, more geared towards building prototypes called [proto](https://github.com/droptype/proto). Because it's focused on building small prototypes, it saves everything to gists and provides a viewer at http://proto.es/{gist-id}.
