I would recommend using Twit (or something similar, I'm not well-versed on Node.js Twitter APIs) - it's an API client, not a frontend like you're talking about. Especially if you intend this to be a community project, it's best to reuse good code others have produced. Since it's open source, if you don't like something about Twit, you can change it :)
