Creating a dropbox clone using nodejs

As I was surfing the interwebs, I came across lipsync. Lipsync is an open source dropbox clone. I was looking for something like this. I thought “perfect, I can use this now”. Only to realize, a minute later, it doesn’t work in Windows. Bummer.

But this also got me excited. I could try building one. And what better way to do it than nodejs. Afterall, here is what nodejs is supposed to be (from the official site):

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome’s JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications.

And nodejs runs on multiple platforms. Ok, time to try this out.
