I've just started working on a futon replacement called "ftn" (
https://github.com/mark-hahn/ftn). It is a couch app built with kanso. I
need to start my app by referencing a design doc like _design/ftn and then
inside my app make ajax calls to a different db.
Right now I have to start the app with something like
http://domain:5984/ftn/_design/ftn/idx.htm. I obviously would like to use
the vhost and rewrite feature to start the app with something shorter. I
can't figure out how to do this because any ajax call in my app for a
different db would also be sent to my ftn db due to the vhost.
Can someone figure out how I can use a short url instead of
http://domain:5984/ftn/_design/ftn/idx.htm?
P.S. How does futon get away with a URL with just the path _utils? Can I
do this with something like _ftn and have it fire up my couch app?

Looks like some nice work Mark. Please check over on dev@ there's already

some work going on in this vein, we'd love to see you contribute there!

the magic pixie dust. Either point towards the filesystem or take a
read
of http://davispj.com/2010/09/26/new-couchdb-externals-api.html and see if
you can use that to proxy directly to a couchapp. I think Ryan has a fix
for this as well?
A+

It doesn't appear anything has happened yet on the new futon you pointed me
to.
I'm going to go ahead for the normal vain reasons. I want to learn new
tools and I want to have one that works exactly the way I want it to work.
Also i think plowing ahead without waiting for committee consensus would
be good (excuse my arrogance).
Thanks for the links to the magic pixie dust. I hope it doesn't require
erlang. If it does I can use the long url for now.

It's actually going faster than I expected. I've never used backbone
before. The backbone router is doing the parsing of the couch urls all by
itself.
Maybe by early next week it will actually be useful as a super-curl.

I've always assumed that list was for developers of couch, not couch apps.
But I'll take a look.

We're a friendly bunch. Lots of diverse interests there. (But yes, lots of
core CouchDB traffic.) Newcomers always welcome!
