What sucks more than error handling in your Node application? Very few things, my friends. Introducing Errbot: a few lines of sentient code that help you correctly handle and display friendly error messages.
Errbot was developed by humans at Original Machine, for their social jukebox/music licensing app, Mixdown, so it's intended for use in applications that talk over HTTP. But it's easy to extend, so don't worry if you're using something else.
npm install errbot
var errbot = require('errbot');
function errorThrower (err, done) {
if (err) return done(errbot.error(err));
done();
};
function notFoundThrower (err, done) {
if (err) return done(errbot.notFound(err));
done();
};-

Don't change the API without notifying me. Breaking changes are totally fine, but we should establish a sane upgrade path first.
