The filter and zoom rules in the sample stylesheet above will apply a smoothing/blurring effect to text elements. In the sample stylesheet, these rules are applied to all headers, paragraphs, list items, and table cells, but in practice, you will want to tailor the application of the smoothing effect to only those elements rendering with significant aliasing.

Nota Bene: the filter appears to place an overflow: hidden-style block around the elements being smoothed, so do not apply these rules directly to elements that need to scroll, or which contain absolutely positioned elements that appear outside the boundaries of the element itself.

What is your folder-structure preference for a large-scale Node.js project?

Here are some of the "gotchas" I've encountered when I converted all the javascript code into coffeescript. (BTW, this is gathered while coding for YourMechanic.com, a very cool mobile auto repair service.)

Disclaimer: Coffeescript is a great productivity booster for me personally. Even with all the things outlined below, it is still way better than javascript. None of these should discourage you from jumping into it right away.

Major gotchas

(Things that generate wrong code silently)

Here's how this works:

Include a git_hooks/ directory in your project, with these two files (plus other hooks if you want, written in a similar style).
Add "npm" to your devDependencies in package.json, so that the pre-commit hook can do its magic.
Add test and lint scripts to your package.json, e.g.

    "scripts": {
        "test": "mocha",
 "lint": "jshint ./lib --show-non-errors"

	var to = "aaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnoooooouuuuybsaaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnoooooouuuyybyrr";
	var value = this;

	for(var i = 0; i < from.length; i++) {
	char_re = new RegExp(from.charAt(i), "gim");
	value = value.replace(char_re, to.charAt(i))
	};

	url = require('url');
