I haven't heard of CouchDB in quite some time, great to see it still improving.

I used it years ago when I was experimenting with Ionic[0]. What appealed to me was that I could use CouchDB (cloud) and PouchDB[1] (device) to and have a replicated copy of the data locally. The application was used in areas where network connection was very limited. Using this strategy I was able to ensure the mobile devices data was as recent as the last time it had a network connection.

I can confirm that the stack still works well :) We've been developing a cross-platform app for the German market - therefore the need of offline capability - since 2017 and never had any real issues with Pouch/Couch, that part just worked. The upgrade from Ionic 3 to 4 was was quite painful though.

For user authentication I've forked the nowadays unmaintained superlogin package [1], which still does a great job when keeping the dependencies up to date.
