This website is a simple couchapp for the jsBBQ meetups.
Install node.
Install node-couchapp with npm.
npm install couchapp
Sync to your couchdb.
couchapp push app.js http://localhost:5984/dbname
This will push the app to your couch and then idle while you edit code. Whenever you save edits to your attachments it'll update them.
You'll probably want to add a vhost to the rewriter for the ddoc as well.
This is a dirt simple couchapp that uses sammy for pretty everything. If you know jquery and sammy you're good to go.
