It would be great if you could write up your experience and document
what you learned, as a tutorial for future learners of this
framework.  

Personally, I'm interested in building apps to search databases (read
only) and present the results in a nice manner, with paging and good
performance.  My latest search form is really nice, because it's quite
short.

But the integration with a nice CSS framework (like bootstrap which I
keep looking at...) and some core Javascript is the stumbling block.
While I love and know perl well, I'm starting to think that doing ALL
the work in one language makes more sense.  

So learning node.js for both the front end and backend drops
complexity.  But Javascript is ugly to my eyes... just like I'm sure
Perl is ugly to Javascript guys.  My age is showing.  Heh.  

In any case, my core comment is that having a documented and basic
example application with lots of stuff already done is a great
resource and way to get people upto speed using Dancer to make great
apps.
