I wonder if there is a Node.js application that starts a server on the current folder to let me edit files through the web browser?
Kinda like http://www.cloud9ide.com, but for general editing (scripts, text etc).
A:
You might want to look at Mozilla Skywriter - they are in the process of converting their server code to node.js.

I have never understood Bespin/Skywriter. Is it a ready-to-use web editor or is it like a library/framework allowing programmers to make a ready-to-use web editor like Cloud9?

It is usable in its embedded form as a 'drop in' inside web pages...but they also have a server component. It allows for plugins on both the server and client side.

A:
Its outside the scope of your question but if you have php access you could use http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ and just set the value of the input field to the file you want to edit.
Then when you submit just have it overwrite the file you opened. I know its not using javascript like you asked but I though I would offer the suggestion its how I do what you where looking for.
