A big part of this will be getting solid, up to date documentation in place. Even though CouchDB is fantastic to work with, when the official docs are out of line with how it actually works, you immediately feel like you're walking on eggshells.
That said, I really do like the idea of Everything Restful, and wish them the best!
- rdtsc 15y agoUnfortunately the RESTful api of couchdb is not used, instead memcached protocol is used for inserting docs
- minikomi 15y agoA shame.. Is this a case of what's better for the dev team outweighing what makes it fun to use as a user? Sorry if that seems harsh, but (personally) this plus the simplicity of setting up map/reduce functions and seeing the results directly in futon are what made CouchDB stand out...
- rdtsc 15y agoYeah I agree. I think they are chasing VC money. Riak is successful so they want to follow suit. But the problem is they are trying to do what Riak does and Riak does what it does best. A second project with largely the same feature is going to have a very hard time displacing a stable product.
