I'm surprised they list PouchDB but not CouchDB for local first software.

PouchDB is fine for trivial local first apps, but not for anything that's critical.

CouchDB, on the other hand, is a very robust app that can be used by multiple local-first apps and those apps can access and share that data, and back it up on a separate local and/or remote CouchDB.

PouchDB and CouchDB used together are a pretty sweet and solid platform to build a Cloud and/or local first on app on.




probably because you can't run CouchDB on the browser. You do need it as something for PouchDB to talk to, however.
