Let me describe what makes my tools different from the Python Couchapp
tool and Erica.

The bootstrap tools take the good parts of Couchapp while discarding
the not-so good parts. They take the concept of a file based
deployment a step further by providing a way to configure CouchDB and
populate database security objects from files.

You can compare Couchapp to CouchDB Push, but the latter takes a far
more minimalistic approach while embracing some Node goodness like
CommonJS modules and an API, as well as JSON support.

The tools I have written are very small tools which does only one
thing. They all offer a consistent JavaScript API and come with a CLI.

CouchDB Bootstrap combines the tools to a high level CouchDB
deployment tool, which can configure CouchDB, create user documents,
replications and handle different databases.

To recap, those are the main advantages of my tools:

* Handle multiple documents in several databases
* Use CommonJS modules
* Use plain JSON files
* Configure CouchDB
* Write security objects
* Provide a JavaScript API (for integration into npm, Grunt, Gulp...)
* Following the Unix philosophy of small, sharp tools
* Easy installation (at least for the Node folks)

Did this answer your question, Johs?
