Can you elaborate?

Probably refering to the diagram from their github page[1]

Pet Peeve: There is no way to post ASCII diagrams on HN

Almost works. I just pasted it as code.

I'd say it works quite well. That looks perfect.

Indent each line by four or more spaces.

The markup documentation is linked from the FAQ, and the FAQ is linked from the bottom of each page.

Yes. Usually when I build an application I'd use a single database. While I don't think in the end it would matter for PostgreSQL or CouchDB, two databases is a bit much. Just curious as why they use two databases that can accomplish the same task (from what I can tell from my limited digging into the project).

People not using a relational DB drives me nuts when it clearly is the right tool for the job. Possibly that is his issue. Something that is a perfect match for a relational DB and instead use a "NON-SQL" DB for a project.
