Dobi is an ultra-simple environment for building scalable, real-time web applications.

With Dobi you write apps...

in Coffee-Script (or javascript, but please don't)
with client-side rendering (only send data over the wire)
with real-time functionality by simply referencing variables
build schemas with simple json objects (no more complicated ORMs)
that scale to 100k+ users without hosting your own servers
on Linux, Mac, or Windows
in any editing environment you prefer

Documentation is available at http://www.dobi.io
