PouchDB: A browser database that syncs with CouchDB

  • This is a truly powerful thing, especially for mobile web-apps where you need to constantly synch with a central server.

    Also, native mobile apps using WebKit don't need to embed CouchDB in their app anymore - they simply use PouchDB to synch with their couches.

    Not to mention the benefits this could bring to desktop development. All you virtually need is a WebKit instance to build a truly scalable desktop application that uses open standards for most of its components - HTML5/CSS3 for interface and a Couch API for storage.

    Really awesome! Keep up the good work.

  • Syncing complex data from offline storage to a hosted backend is hard, especially if the data can change in both places at once. If this solves that problem, it could be very useful.

  • Can it be used with some other database like MySQL? I mean the main database is MySQL and in the offline mode PouchDB can collect data.

    Also, what about security of the main database? How does the syncing take place?

  • No offense but I can barely read that text, you might want to darken that shit. Cool library though
