Oh _no_

in #CouchDB, Mango querying does not mix with using "" as document key.

"One or more conditions is missing a field name."

Is there an #activitypub server that uses #couchdb (or any other database with #json support) as a backend and/or application server?

Stressful start to the year?

You have one less worry with #CouchDB

Our latest article covers @couchdb’s #checksums feature: a built-in safeguard that helps protect your data from the impact of ever-dreaded disk corruption.

It’s just one of the features that makes CouchDB your data’s safe place.

We published a four part series about how to build a real-time multi-user Kanban board with @couchdb and @sveltejs

Its is complete with code for all steps, so it’s not just a draw-the-rest-of-the-owl tutorial:

.0 releases get more press, but it wasn't the right thing to do, and #CouchDB chose the better path. Kudos to Apache CouchDB for sacrificing a marketing win for a *user* win. https://blog.couchdb.org/2024/09/27/3-4-1/

Beyond Tellerrand #btconf is in Berlin! In-person conferences are a thing again, and we’re really happy to connect with the #JS and #CouchDB communities face to face, collect stickers and share inspiring vibes.

For 12 years already, I've been on/off experimenting (and prototyping) to create a compendium & knowledge graph about computational & generative art, the different movements/genres/mediums (e.g. architecture, design, visual art, audio/music, sculpture, kinetic/motion, film/animation, text etc.), influences, definitions/references, people (artists, curators, writers, thinkers), collectives, organizations (foundations, galleries, museums), exhibitions/festivals, tools & tool makers, common techniques used, art platforms — everything tagged and also supporting to browse by time (centuries & decades, currently starting ~1600) and region...

Attached are some screenshots of my first prototypes from 2011/12 (using #CouchDB, then #neo4j for storage & my own tools for force-directed graph layout) and of the current prototype using #Logseq (https://logseq.com)... The latter is working great for now and feeling, I'm getting somewhere this time, also because I have to make it work (for work!). This is all still just a beginning, hundreds of more people, orgs, projects & references to import and re-check from older versions. The current contents are _very_ biased to my own network/trajectory in/through this space...

Ps. Following up with all the folks & materials I've included already, I'm realizing again and again just how I've been the most naïve and _worst_ person to monetize (mostly not even trying!) my art/contributions... For 20 years I've filed 90% of hundreds of my projects under "experiments", "sketches", "demos", "tutorials" (often also to help illustrate techniques of my open source tools), only to realize (not for the first time) almost everyone else of my old peers has been way less selective and been attaching way more importance to all of their outputs... Maybe one day I will learn, before it's too late...

I just had a look at #couchDB and #pouchDB and it looks promising. Of course the API differs from the known once (Google, Apple) but it could be a great foundation for what I need

Thanks a lot!
