As far as home pages go, its a bad idea. The Web2py home page works much better. Here's why:
My laptop display is 768 pixels tall. The Nodejs home page is taller than 768 px, but there's nothing on it that tells me to scroll down. Not good. On my 1050 px tall monitor, I can tell there is stuff below, but nothing entices me to scroll down to the links. The little snippet of sample code does nothing for me. We all know that every software package has sample code that shows how you can clone the World Wide Web in 90 seconds. The fork link at the upper right doesn't look like a link. A lot of important stuff is low on the page. On my hand held it's a complete fail when held vertically. I see the entire page, but it's too tiny to read except for the really big links. Trying to hit any of the smaller links will give a fat finger error, I'm sure. Rotate the hand held and the readability is better, but the scrolling problem remains. In my opinion it violates a lot of the guidelines in *Don't Make Me Think*, a great little book about web site design. On the other hand, on the Web2py home page I see everything important as soon as I land on the page. The links at the top are obviously links and the menu stays put while I scroll. The home page works great on my lappy screen, the desktop monitor and my hand held. So no, I would not change it.
