Creator of Apache CouchDB here. Fireproof is a very clever system for building secure, collaborative apps. Your apps can work offline and when connected automatically sync changes to local storage and display them immediately to the UI. It has much of that same CouchDB magic with almost no complexity or headache on the backend.

Very coo…errr…hot!

User of Couchdb for similar use case...been keeping up to date on a parallel branch of my solution using fireproof instead of couch. Still early, but great potential...stumbled onto fireproof because I was about to write an adapter for couch (well Pouch actually, but same same) to replicate in a similar manner to fireproof.

  • We are working on transparent replication to Postgres JSON which will make it a lot easier to adopt.
