Hey Marcus, Great questions. User's don't currently install Couch on their clients, but the plan/hope is that they will. :) Or (better yet), that CouchDB will already be on their client: as is the case with Ubuntu.
The more places we have CouchDB, the more this replication model makes sense. Depending on what you're building, getting CouchDB on your user's machine could be fairly trivial. Hopefully that barrier to entry will continue to get lower and lower. Thanks for your questions, Marcus, Benjamin On Sun, Oct 31, 2010 at 10:28 AM, Wordit Ltd <[email protected]>wrote: > I'm new to couch and working through the book, but there's one thing I > don't understand. > In a CouchApp data is said to be local.
