Syching with couchdb without requiring node.js
data.js looks amazing -- especially the offline caching and synchronization! I'd love to use it in a project I'm beginning. However, the requirement for two servers (node.js and couchdb) seems overkill. Especially for a small web-app given couchdb's ability to serve all resources (html, js, css, images) directly.
The ability to connect to a couchdb backend directly from the browser would be a huge benefit. It would also allow for much simpler use cases, reducing the number of required backend servers.
Are there plans to include this capability?
Not yet, since Data.js does some post-processing/filtering on the view results. Thus Couch should ideally run on the same machine (or network) for performance reasons.
