Hi Darryl, I've had really good luck using Python Flask web services supported by a CouchDB (Cloudant) backend. That will expand your target support from Windows to most platforms, and might be less overhead if you're talking about a fairly simple application. I've been down the couch-app route (successfully) but unless you are talking a very basic application (just HTML/client-side JS) I've found using an external tool for the web service to be advantageous. Node would likely provide similar advantages -- allowing you to break down the problem into a client/server space.
