I think I'm going to do this one in Node because Django doesn't play super nicely with non relational databases.

For now, it's gonna use CouchDB. Opinions welcome.
Make sure you have latest node, npm and CouchDB installed.
npm install
- See ./crypto/CRYPTO.md for instructions.

If you're developing, it's easier to use Supervisior, which will automatically reload the app when it detects changes. Supervisor requires that it be installed globally.
npm install -g supervisor
supervisor server.js
