pouchdb

PouchDB is a fairly up-and-coming JavaScript library, and the maintainer makes a good effort to mark issues as "goodfirstpatch" or "goodstudentproject": https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb/issues?labels=goodfirs... . I've been on the project for a couple months, and I find folks to be very friendly and quick to respond on Github/IRC/etc. Plus it's part of the bigger Apache CouchDB ecosystem, so it's a good crowd to run with!

PouchDB - https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb A reimplmentation of CouchDB in the browser based on indexedDB / webSQL, its designed as a library for web devs to build applications that work offline and sync data seamlessly when their users login to other devices. Theres a contribution guide @ https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb/blob/master/CONTRIBUTI... and we try to tag good patches for beginners @ https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb/issues?labels=goodfirs... As a project I spend a lot (pretty much all) my time on trying to make it easy to contribute (while at the same time producing a well built easy to use library), would love to hear back about how easy / insanely hard the process is.

Nice to see some good discussion about PouchDB, cheers for all the thanks as well but just wanted to make sure the credit goes where its due, PouchDB is a fairly small project that I do in my (rare) spare time, but it has 55 contributors who very much make it the project it is https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb/graphs/contributors

The top used module in npm was written for the browser (underscore) A huge amount of code can / is be shared between the server and client, I wrote a database designed to work in browsers, a pull request away and it works in node.js using a different storage engine, 90% of the code is shared[1], the only people that arent convinced that sharing code between the server / client isnt useful just arent paying attention.

Currently PouchDB views do a full table scan, there is an open bug to do incremental views more inline with CouchDB - https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb/issues/99

Yeah there's a lot of interesting stuff being developed around pouchdb, I've been slowly checking it out the past couple of months: Some beginning tutorials/intros to pouchdb: http://pouchdb.com/getting-started.html http://briantoth.github.io/Tutorial/2013/03/19/pouchdb-intro... http://mattgwwalker.wordpress.com/2013/04/08/pouchdb-2/ Todo Tutorial using AngularJS and PouchDb http://twilson63.github.io/ngTodoPouch/ Building Offline Applications With AngularJS and PouchDB http://mircozeiss.com/building-offline-applications-with-ang... Other Apps Using PouchDB https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb/wiki/Who-or-What-Is-Us... including this offline conference app https://github.com/axemclion/conference PouchVision - inspect and interact w/pouch instances http://brudolph.pouchvision.jit.su/ Puton - bookmarklet for inspecting/editing pouch dbs ht

That is why I kind of like the CouchDB clone for the browser -- PouchDB https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb Since Couch has a master-master replication protocol the database in the browser can just sync with the one on the server. Then the network gets disconnected but that's alright. When it gets re-connected continuous updates pick up where they left off, conflicts are resolved and it sort of works a distributed system. Where a browser is just another node.

I have a setup with an OS project, every bit of work is done on a branch, when that branch gets turned into a PR it runs against CI, when CI passes it is merged https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb/pull/158 You can see here a PR failed CI, a new commit was made that passed CI, its was then merged. Its a workflow made in heaven for me

I looked into this a month ago, and it didn't appear to be there yet: https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb/issues/25 (The issue is currently open, but it looks as if it may land shortly.)

Another interesting approach is: - CouchDB - PouchDB: https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb - Backbone PouchDB Adapter: https://github.com/jo/backbone-pouchdb But the Map-Reduce paradigm didn't seem to fit well onto our data model.

PouchDB is ready for some testing and play. Dale Harvey has put a lot of work into it recently: https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb I'll see what I can do about getting a good publication of the replication protocol. People have been asking about it for a long time. I've only come to fully grok it late last year when I tried to write PouchDB and I talked through it with Dale when he picked up my slack. We can probably get that together. A great first example that I'd love to see is using PouchDB to implement Backbone.Sync for a Backbone app.
