I totally agree. But I think most developers tend to try and find the biggest box to use. So when they look at couchapps they go hmm, nope, not going to try, not a big enough box. What might be useful to explore is some docs/best practices for growing your app out of the couchapp box. "How should I migirate assets into a node front end?", "What about auth", etc. That way people can feel comfortable starting with couchapps knowing they can move upwards if needed. Maybe I have not investigated if such resources exist, but it might be useful for the various couchapp communities to provide. Ryan
