Node.js Lab

This is an awesome app! I've been learning javascript and especially been interested in creating "single-file" .htmls programs that are bundled with javascript and images that I can can be opened in friends and family's browser's (e.g. Mobile Edge/iCabMobile-- mobile Safari still doesn't allow) without such friends and family having to install any special software on their mobile devices or require me to "host" the projects on a server I need to maintain. This app allows me to "bundle" my javascript code with images into such "single-file" .htmls using node.js running natively on iOS (iPad) using a download .npm package called "html-inline-external" which works perfectly! The Node.js IDE is also very professional appearing and easy to use. There are a couple things that one cannot do yet with the Node js lab app that one could do with Node.js on a non-mobile device (e.g. use Node Js from a command-line-interface), but I've not found that to be a hinderance since I can usually write and execute javascript scripts to accomplish the same task that I would do with a command-line-interface. I've also found the developer extremely response. To me, this is the best solution to use Node.js on one's iOS device I've found 😊

The app is cool. It supports NPM, etc. BUT… when I try to contact them to suggest/ask if they could implement options for linting and “beauty”ing, the contact page doesn’t work and both the Facebook and Twitter accounts don’t exist.
