Heya, the purpose of 'what a couchapp is' in my previous email was intended to clarify what a couchapp is. In the past, there has been many discussions on what exactly constitutes a 'couchapp', and i just wanted to express my view what a 'couchapp' is. And more importantly, to emphasize the independence of couchapps. Too often, i see amazing things that are 'couchappy' that, in order to add more features to their 'couchapp', requires too many things (Node.JS and such) or neglect major operating systems (windows in particular). Just wanted to say my peace on the subject. *steps off soapbox*
Before talking about what should be on the couchapp website, the first question i'd like to ask is, is the term 'couchapp' copyrighted in anyway? Trademarked? I just wanna make sure that no person/entity can claim ownership of the term in the future. -Pete On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 1:34 PM, Octavian Damiean <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 6:55 PM, Peter Nolan <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Personally, what i'd like to see from 'couch-apps'. is the ability for a > > layman to be able to develop websites that use couchdb as the database, > > knowing only > > > > HTML > > CSS > > Javascript > > Couchdb > > > > > > Without needing the following > > 1) change of operating systems (couchapps should be able to run on OSx, > > windows, and 'linux') > > 2) Without the need to install other 3rd party programs(node js and > such). > > - all the person should need to write code is a simple text editor. > > 3) propriety code.
