Re: CouchDB 1.0
#12Congrats, guys! I have to say, though, while you were busy inching towards 1.0 I've fallen in love with other production-ready NoSQL db's (namely Mongo and Cassandra). I'm excited to play with Couch, just to play with it, but as someone who is already very satisfied with other NoSQL technologies (when I need them), what would be your pitch for why I should give Couch a serious look?
I've got truly offline replication (as in you can run me on Android and your laptop and keep them synced via the cloud). Also, none of the other NoSQLs are really set up for schemaless queries like I am. Incremental map-reduce lets you normalize a bunch of different heterogenous document structures in your view, which is more flexible than the key-path indexes Mongo has, and more real-time than Hadoop/Google style ma…
Your novelty account is creepy.

#13I also threw my congrats out into blog-space this morning after updating the install on my laptop. Even though MongoDB fits most of my specific application needs better than CouchDB, CouchDB is a great project.

#14this is pretty cool news, though I'm a might concerned about how the links to the couchone hosting seem to be broken :p
We're getting hit by lots of 10x waves right now, so while we're doing what we can, if the hosted stuff is sluggish today we'll be faster tomorrow. Cheers, Chris
cool. Might I suggest that after the pace gets saner, you add a script that fires a confirmation email before creating the instance + includes a "how to use the hosted instance" mini explanation.
This might a) free up some instances that are created only because certain folks have this silly habit of retrying a form with new values when it doesn't work the first time, and b) will make it easier to couchdb novices to get started.
Otoh, I might just be speaking for myself and my own silliness.

#15Well done guys. But don't forget to credit Bryant Cutler (http://bryantcutler.com/) for the awesome logo.
update: downvoted? why? I really think the guy should be credited. He did a fricking awesome job which CouchDB has based its whole image on. The faux movie poster linked at the top of this story has a giant size version of his logo as the very backdrop. This shit is important. Credit him, says I!

Last year, when I asked couch.io for an account, they suggested that I go with a competitor cloundant because they were not ready for users. It really impresses me when companies/people show such honesty. I expect that now both couch.io and cloudant will do a good business (as will MongoHQ): as easy as it is to run services on our own servers, it is also great to just let someone else worry about admin (like using Heroku, for example)

I imagine by the time we get the 23andMe account it'll be really creepy. ;)
Re: CouchDB 1.0
#18It seems very popular, so maybe it's just that I'm not cool enough (not in the target audience/mixing with the right crowd, virally speaking) - but being upfront about what something is and what's great about it, would seem to me to be an important for encouraging adoption. OTOH, I'm noticed many successful projects don't do this, so maybe it isn't important. :/
My history shows 5 pages from the landing page before I found one that said what CouchDB is (the faq), and I'm still not sure what distinguishes it.
btw: awesome logo and poster.

#19I didn't realize CouchDB was Congrats on hitting "the one" then!
Loving your updated design, by the way. Here's a great example: http://www.couch.io/case-studies

#20Can someone give me a quick synopsis of what I would use this for?
Is this only for Facebook size scaling or is it of use for those of us just starting out?
