@Sergio we do not use couchDB for TimmyOnTime. First, it's in Rails and Rails is not "NoSQL ready" yet. Also, before using it on a commercial product, I would like to know it better on smaller projects. We use XMPP4R for Timmy, we tried Jabber::Simple without much success but I think that for a simpler project, it would be OK

Thanks for the article, really enjoyed it. What library did you use for TimmyOnTime, i assume you are using xmpp. Did you manage to use couchdb for TimmyOnTime.

Your comment was stuck in the spam. The work you’re doing for couchdb is incredible. I can’t wait myself to work on that couchdb project. It will be really simple… almost too simple. But I want to try couchdb and a new kind of interface at the same time.

I’m working on a set of helper scripts called CouchApp designed to keep everything super easy, when you’re building pure-CouchDB / JS apps. I opened a new mailing list last night, its here: http://groups.google.com/group/couchapp

Also you can see the source code here: http://github.com/jchris/couchapp/tree/master

Enjoy! I can’t wait to see what you come up with. A few of the other apps using CouchAPP are linked fromt the README of the source code.

@Damian
I’m building a “personal” app (that might evolve in a public project) so I don’t need security or things like that for the moment. I remember seeing something about security and I can’t wait to try it.

@Martin
The main reason that I’m working with the 0.8.0 (the latest release) is that I installed the trunk once and it was more buggy. Also, being on Ubuntu, it was the easiest to install. I will retry the trunk soon!

You might want to use the latest trunk of CouchDB as there has been a lot of progress since 0.8.0.

Once you’ve started going into detail you could submit your feed to the planet (planet.couchdb.org).

I had great fun with an older version of CouchDB writing a database explorer using just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — sadly this has since been superseded by Futon, but the point was getting a basic system up and running was refreshingly straightforward.

I think things get more complicated once you get in to authentication and permissions on different documents, but I gather more recent CouchDB versions have hooks for doing that on the CouchDB server as well.
