Turns out I was building Facebook Timeline as a canvas app at the same time Facebook was building Facebook Timeline. They rocked it, so here's my work in progress code built on CouchDB, Backbone.js and Node.js.

This may be helpful example code for anyone interested in building a Facebook canvas app using CouchDB and Backbone.js. A CouchApp serves all static assets. There's a Node-based autentication layer that receives all AJAX requests from the client and ensures the user has authenticated the app before it proxies the request on to CouchDB.
