“minos” is a proxy around couchdb that enables a “bring your own data” appdev paradigm. what does that mean? it means you can code your apps so users provide their own database info, so you don’t have to run servers as an appdev or access user data in any way, while users retain ownership of their data. users get this info from the minos server where they have an account, which an admin might host for their community. minos extends couchdb to ensure efficient resource usage and tight permissions

In response to this postthe first app that will support minos integration — to support multi-device sync — will be my diary “spellbook” which you can already use:
https://garbados.github.io/spellbook/
spellbook stores its data in your browser, so your data never leaves your machine. once it has minos integration, your data will be able to sync using a minos token, so your data will only leave your machine to get stored on infrastructure you trust.
my appdev philosophy these days is to make web apps that clock in at under a megabyte, so they run everywhere and load *fast*. i want to make tooling that allows me to make more kinds of apps into tiny websites, especially multi-user apps like chatrooms, or social feeds. even once i complete minos 1.0, there will be tons of documentation to write to explain best practices in a “bring your own data” paradigm, but, personally? i think i write decent docs
