The best way to harden and improve a tool like this is to submit it to the scrutiny of the community, so that's what I'm doing. There are some other Javascript-based cgminer APIs, but I believe that this is by far the most comprehensive, well-tested, and standards-compliant, and open cgminer toolkit for Node.js. If you're a developer and want to interface with your miner through Node.js, give it a try. I appreciate any feedback, good or bad. My goal is to make this toolkit as safe and reliable as possible, since I'm using it currently to build a web-based miner management app.

uuuuh! This sounds great! I was looking for something like this to rewrite my Minera project in Node. I have no excuses now
Thanks

Awesome. I think we're building some similar stuff, let me know if you'd like to collaborate. Make sure to file issues if you run into them. I'm actively maintaining this project, so I'll make sure to fix them as soon as possible.
