accosineon Ask HN: Pros and Cons of Using CouchDB?

PROs:

- Your documents are kept with revisions instead of overwriting then.

- REST API already built in

- Authentication (also usable in your app) already built in

- map/reduce

- CouchApps

CONs:

- corporate supported development is dwindeling (I believe, not entirely up to date on this)

- only REST API, no wire protocol

- CouchApps

accosineon I Have Resigned from the Google AMP Advisory Committee

I don't get why HN is hating on AMP so much. Yes, Google's force feeding AMP content to its users is not everyones cup of tea, but it enables devs with little experience in SEO to built fast, well ranking sites much more easily.

It is a great subset of HTML and JS and Web Stories do look like the next best (open source) solution to compete with Instagram, Snapchat and Tik Tok. There is basically NO OTHER CONTENDER in this space...

Why is everybody always hating on the effin' AMP Viewer on Google, if you do not like it, just don't use it.

AMP is great micdrop
