CouchDB supports REST: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_D..., so you should be able to connect to it from Tiggr. We are working on examples how to connect to StackMob, Parse and others, we will add CouchDB as well.

I'd recommend to try one of our step-by-step tutorials: http://help.gotiggr.com/getting-started and read the services section: http://help.gotiggr.com/documentation.... That will give you a good idea how to work with REST services in Tiggr.

Lastly, don't hesitate to post any questions on this forum!

I tried Cloudant which has a cloud-based CouchDB. It should be pretty easy to connect from Tiggr. Looks like they use browser-based authentication http://name:password@name.cloudant.co.... Then you just use their REST API: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_D...

More info on using services that require browser-based authentication: http://help.gotiggr.com/documentation...

Many thanks for the response. I have sucessfully connected to iriscouch which is another hosted couchdb. This one has the option of running without any security (!) obviously not an option for production but great for the poc stage that I am in at the moment.
