It's MongoDB, not CouchDB. And imho the benefit is that you don't have to host it yourself and you don't have to write the "x", the nice interface to manage all that data.

Because it is great to have the data in your database, but how do you or better an editor change it (I think hackers don't like editing content all day long and editors don't like to enter content in something like phpmyadmin).

I said couchDB because it also uses REST and already has an web-based administration interface with "futon"

Thanks for the reply. I didn't know futon. It seems to be something like a phpmyadmin for CouchDB, isn't it?

Futon/phpmyadmin are great for entering or checking data as a developer or system administrator, but I think they are too complicated and technical for the average non-techie to manage content. That's why I built my solution.

Or can you configure Futon to have a really simple interface and also force it to only allow entry for specific keys in a document?
