Почему я сделал свой сервис синхронизации для Obsidian
В августе 2025 я открыл для себя мощный инструмент для менеджмента своих мыслей — Obsidian. Мою оперативную память в голове он очень сильно разгрузил. Но речь в статье пойдет не об этом. О синхронизации.
Actually, there is an #activitypub software that uses #couchdb as a backend - flohmarkt: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt
TIL about couchDB
I am going to play with this DB on one of my distributions. couchDB scales from massive all the way down to mobile
quote:
Apache CouchDB ™ lets you access your data where you need it. The Couch Replication Protocol is implemented in a variety of projects and products that span every imaginable computing environment from globally distributed server-clusters, over mobile phones to web browsers.

TIL CouchDB uses irc #Couchdb for chat with developers. So, it can be done without discord 👏
Lost documents before, so we switched back to trusted Postgres.
#obsidian #selfhosted sync with #couchdb is kinda magical! (once you have it set up and understand what it does...)
Help shape the future of @couchdb 📣
It’s time again for the Annual Apache #CouchDB User Survey, where we collect insights that help project contributors prioritise what to build, write about and enhance.
Take part in the 2025 - 2026 survey: https://forms.gle/KGkPp8qxmwyrTrJR6
Boosts and shares appreciated — let’s reach as many users as we can! 🌐
Take a look at last year’s results to learn how the findings will be shared: https://blog.couchdb.org/2025/06/18/2024-apache-couchdb-user-survey-results/

#Sharding is (another) one of the things that makes @couchdb such a scalable distributed database 📐
It’s an architectural consideration that very few DBs make as automatic and transparent as CouchDB.
We cover, in depth:
- what shards are
- how #CouchDB uses them
- performance gains and trade-offs

Revisiting an Old Idea: Building a Rules Engine with CouchDB
A few years back, while working at 18F, I created a prototype that explored something a bit unconventional: using CouchDB’s document validation functions as the foundation for a rules engine. The idea was to leverage CouchDB’s built-in validation capabilities to create business rules that could be applied to documents as they’re inserted or updated.
I’ve always been somewhat obsessed with CouchDB—there’s something elegant about its document-oriented approach and the way it handles replication, versioning, and distributed architectures. (Here’s a video I made over 10 years ago showing how to load polling location data into a CouchDB instance.) So even though my prototype remained just that, the concept has continued to bubble in the back of my brain.
Recently, I decided to dust off this old project and give it the attention it deserves. I’ve worked to develop a comprehensive roadmap to transform the basic prototype into a more functional and usable product that truly leverages CouchDB’s unique strengths.
What Makes This Interesting
Instead of building yet another traditional rules engine, this approach uses CouchDB’s native validation functions as the rule execution environment. This means:
The roadmap I’ve created takes my earlier work from a proof-of-concept to a (hopefully) production-ready system with a web-based rule management interface, comprehensive testing infrastructure, and advanced rule capabilities—all while maintaining the elegance of the core CouchDB foundation.
Looking Ahead
Over the next few weeks (again, hopefully), I’ll be working through the development phases, starting with a modern testing framework and a clean web interface for rule management. The goal is to create something that demonstrates how CouchDB’s unique features can be leveraged in ways that traditional databases simply can’t match.
If you’re interested in following along or have thoughts about creative uses for CouchDB, I’d love to hear from you. Sometimes the most interesting solutions come from pushing familiar tools in unexpected directions.

Is your @Rails application constantly and rapidly changing data structures? You may want to consider some of these #NoSQL data stores!

This will be my second week working on adding a new #CouchDB compatibility layer to #PostgreSQL as part of my Open-Source #Go library, Kivik.

Join me in just about half an hour, when I'll be live-coding (note: live, not vibe, coding!) a new feature in my open-source project.
Cool #CouchDB, why is there no documentation about creating users?
I just want to setup some application which uses that Db, and it's just a blackbox.
CouchDB also seems to be a technically simple solution—although it seems more difficult to use. And it's built with erlang!
1. Automatically generating OpenAPI documentation for your web resources doesn't seem doable, but there's perhaps CouchDB's own form of API documentation.
2. HTTP OPTIONS requests are accepted although poorly documented from what I could find.
It'd be nice if CouchDB supported learning about it's API through OpenAPI documentation.
I finally tried an AI Agent, using open source All-Hands.dev and it kinda works!
I asked it to develop an admin dashboard for CouchDB (default Fauxton is a bit buggy and dated) and it managed to read to a working, MVP solution without much guidance. I only told it which frameworks and libraries to use and what features I want. It is a bit scary but also bring some optimism #ai #genai #agents #mcp #couchdb #mistral #shadcn #webdev #software
