I love CouchDB because it works directly with web browsers without middleware (and supports awesome replication), but I wouldn't mind structured records like in SQL databases. I end up enforcing schemas using update validation function

A lot of fancy tech for only 805MB per user (based on estimate of 500 million users). What if we had a pure p2p web app using webrtc & local storage to replace Facebook? Think everyone could spare 805MB? Calculation: https://

Remember when the iPhone was under fire for logging everywhere a user went? That was due to careless devs logging location data. Also, logging data is a blocking operation, so if done too often it slows the performance of an app. CORRECTION

The phone isn't for normies like you and I. It's targeted specifically for people in the defense industry who have a need to connect to SIPRnet and other similar defense/government networks. People commenting here think they

I've been working with CBLite for iOS and it's pretty legit. One thing that I have not been able to find on Couchbase's website is a written commitment that CBLite will always be compatible for CouchDB. I know that the curren

Cool product, but when I read "inline" I thought it would render the markdown in real time (this editor waits until you press Enter to go to the next paragraph).

We're going to see this type of architecture more and more. Everyone keeps talking about this C10K problem, but the truth of the matter is that most consumer's computers are idling 99% of the time. The server only needs to be ther

My thinking is that it takes a LOT of text to equal one good size pic. When using CouchDB as a backend, you want to optimize your queries so that you retrieve as much as possible in the fewest number of requests. With my current list of art

I love Work Flowy and I'm glad to see offline available although I always thought it worked offline and just synced when reconnected. How did it behave before? I would pay for a pro account if they had a better iOS experience. Right no

So this is how Go will make its appearance on Chrome Browser & Chrome OS? Pretty cool. I was a little scared off from NaCl from the C/C++ requirement, but Go will make that a little easier to handle. When is 1.3 suppose to be relea

I hear you, I just would love to be able to do everything in a CouchDB restful type way. The main reason I even look at using shows/lists was to make my pure Javascript/AJAX couch site SEO compliant. A pure javascript frontend web

One thing that threw me off was the "10 misconceptions" person saying that show/list should be deprecated. Instead, I wish they worked on improving them. Pure javascript is not a good HTML development environment without JQue
