Mark, I understand the desire not to document the apparently unachivable, setting up a PouchDB but people have done this (although Difficult) never the less my definition stands. CouchDB is a *Tiddler (not wiki) Server,* Even PouchDB needs to be though of as a Local *Tiddler Server* because it can explain how the underlying tiddlywki may not have new content in it that is held in the CouchDB.
*Please note I have used my words very carefully*. If as you say The complication of it as a local browser saver is that it needs to connect to the github starting page at least once then the internet is a setup dependency nothing more (Unless it is needed every time), all it requires is a special note. In part because we have not yet defined if internet access is required or it is operated "offline". A column indicating "can be used offline" could have the values Yes, No, Conditional, and with local/remote server access or something like that. Perhaps an ease of setup column should be used to show pouchDB is difficult, although those with the IBM database version can currently do it with less complexity than setting up their own. The thing is we must be careful not to paint a false picture or depart from a careful use of words because even novices may detect inconsistencies and find it hard to understand or believe the list. This is the reason I have suggested this treatment of NoteSelf because 1. It varies form other solutions 2. Includes unfamiliar technology to most, 3. We can expect more cases of databases that serve tiddlers. In which case more items will have similar specifications.
