CouchDB Case Study: Thingler, Collaborative Todo Lists
The data-model of Thingler was really simple: there was only one type of object: the Room (essentially a passworded list mapped to a url). The document-store aspect of CouchDB worked well, the application could store all the information in the room, such as the items in the todo (and associated tags), the password, the name and url of the room — in a single document, that was one GET away. The nice thing about this was that the document
_idwas also the URL of the room. To generate the URLs, the application just used Couch’s_uuidsAPI.
Question to the experts: why using node.js and not CouchApp?
