There’s a thing called CouchApps. CouchDB, being an HTTP server, can host applications directly, so you can write applications and forward the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript through CouchDB. When you point your browser at it, the browser comes alive and starts the JavaScript. It becomes interactive as you query and update the server and everything. When everything is served from CouchDB, that’s a CouchApp and you can replicate it around, just like the data.
You run these in your browser, and they’re just like regular web apps. The really cool thing is that once you install CouchDB locally, you can replicate these down and still run them even if you’re disconnected from the network. You have the exact same experience
