Show HN: Blog made with CouchDB/PouchDB

Here are the answers to your questions:
(a): The apps are "web apps" and all the code to run them is cached in your web browser when you load them the first time.
If you disconnect your internet and load "https://cherrypc.com/app/index.html" they'll work. If you're online and don't have a "Data Services" account they'll still work, but you won't be able to email documents directly from the app. You can "Save" them though, or "Print to PDF" if you're using Chrome to run them, and attach them to an email in your email app.
Right now I use "App Cache" for offline use, but I'll be implementing "Service Workers" soon.
(b): The blog isn't one of the apps included, but I am considering including it. It requires the "Data Services" we offer though, so it wouldn't be "free", but I may spin up another server just for the blog app and offer it as a stand alone service at a much lower yearly fee.
(c): Since, they are web apps any device with a modern web browser are supported, including mobile devices, so yes, Linux is supported. I test them on a Raspberry Pi and they run fine in the modern web browsers that run on it, including Chrome and Firefox.
I'll look into that asap.
I was kind of surprised how quickly it came together. It's no "Wordpress" but I think it's pretty nice, all things considered.
