Couchbase Lite from desktop browser (REST API)

Desktop Browser talking directly to Couchbase Server (Or would it be Sync Gateway) (Windows/xOS)

to Sync Gateway. Having it talk to a local CBL would be easier and let CBL take care of sync

@JohnM

Desktop Browser talking to a local install of Couchbase Lite (Windows/xOS)

… test out the .NET version it should work for you.

I know I could use PouchDB but if I can sidestep that and use only Couchbase that would be great.

PouchDB works 100% with SG but CBL has things like compression of data to/from SG , live database event listeners , …etc . Using CBL will future proof your build as they are designed to work together. and of course its open source so you have options for what fits your needs as far as business critical app needing support.

It seems to me that the Couchbase Mobile stack is a useful stack for the Desktop but doesn’t appear to be documented very well if it can in fact be used like that.

There are people who do use it as an all-in-one data distribution and delivery method, people who see the “Big Picture” of CB Mobile. Other are very project focused and wanting CB Mobile to handle a specific need. What specific things are you looking for on the desktop side?
