"I don’t want the web to equal native; I want the web to surpass it. I, for one, would prefer a reality where my home screen isn’t filled with the icons of startups and companies that have fulfilled the criteria of the gatekeepers. But a home screen filled with the faces of people who didn’t have to ask anyone’s permission to publish? That’s what I want!" –Jeremy Keith Adactio: Journal—Progressing the web | Jeremy Keith by Matthew Oliphant, on Flickr (CC BY-ND 2.0).

"CouchDB’s superpower is sync. Sometimes I even try to explain it to people by saying, 'CouchDB isn’t a database; it’s a sync engine.' It’s a way of efficiently transferring data from one place to another, while intelligently managing conflicts and revisions. It’s very similar to Git. When I make that analogy, the light bulb often goes off." –Nolan Lawson PouchDB & CouchDB: An interview with Nolan Lawson – CouchDB Blog
