{ "soapbox" : "As someone who completely depends both on PouchDB and CouchBase
Lite, please, please, please, just make CouchBase Lite work with PouchDB as-is.
The world desperately needs compatibility and making PouchDB 'just work' with
CouchBase Lite would be a mitzvah. Right now our life is a mine field of
incompatibilities that has reduced us to using CouchBase Lite just for local
replication and almost nothing else. :(
I understand the logic behind still wanting the CouchBase lite API running in
Javascript. But please just implement that on top of PouchDB. I know you know
Nolan and friends really well but I can second from personal experience that
the PouchDB team in general is super open to good ideas and happily willing to
take PRs.
Standard protocols are what make for powerful communities. It's what enables us
to leave our proprietary, closed off, limited corners and create a rich world
where awesome things happen. When it comes to exchanging structured data we
live in this bizarre retread of the world before the web where our data is
locked behind proprietary and/or incompatible protocols. We desperately need an
agreed upon standard for rich data exchange. CouchDB can be that standard. And
CouchBase Lite is really close to actually implementing that standard. If we
can just close that gap (which running on PouchDB would do, have you seen their
awesome test suite? [1]) we could unleash enormous creativity!",

Writing this whole thing in pseudo-JSON was stupid enough as it is. :)" }

Hey J. Chris,
We also happily accept pull requests, and for stuff that might not make sense
for core, we have a pretty decent plugin API too. :)
Cheers,
Nolan

Are there any plans for a Couchbase Lite for Browsers version that essentially
officially carries over the wonderful PouchDB library to the Couchbase world?
I am doing some initial investigations here, especially around what parts of
the codebase would make sense to share with PouchDB, level-down, etc. No
official plans but if we do build something the goal would be to have an API
the same as Couchbase Lite on other
platforms.<http://developer.couchbase.com/mobile/develop/references/couchbase-lite/couchbase-lite/index.html>
So far all I've done is an initial test suite scaffold, generated from our API
spec, but as soon as we have an implementation that's useful we'll open the
repo.
