maxogdenon Distributed Social App with CouchDB. Brilliant

The data schematics will be implemented via the OStatus protocols. CouchDB's role is to comply with OStatus and push and pull data when necessary.

As Dale stated, this is a good fit for Couch's replication mechanisms. Protocols like PubSubHubbub are ripe for porting over to Couch.

maxogdenon Ask HN: What tools do you use?

OSX Specific: TextMate, Terminal, DTerm (awesome timesaver), Digital ColorMeter (Pixel measurement, CMD+SHIFT+C FTW)

General: Firebug, Dropbox (automatic backups!), Git, Photoshop, Customized .bashrc, .irbrc

Ruby specific: Sketches (with the default sketches dir symlinked into Dropbox)

These are probably 95% of where I spend my time. My workflow is generally: I use Spotlight and Finder to find things and then DTerm to interact with them or launch TextMate. If I want to dink around in Ruby I will go into irb and start a new sketch which will pop up TextMate and away I code.
