An adventurer is never told how. Like the cold embrace of space, the emptiness of choice is an adventurer's only comfort. Be it the cosmos, a canvas or code, the greatest stories are told by those who find a path where this is none. Dayvan is the adventurer's tool for writing CouchApps.

Dayvan sits aside while you decide which path to take. It doesn't care wether you use HTML, Python, Ruby or Perl to build your site. To get started, go to your project and type

gem install dayvan
dvn init

This creates a CouchApp (you can customise it later).

dvn push

Your app has now been pushed up to Couch. Everything in the public directory is uploaded as attachments. Dayvan doesn't bundle assets or impose any sort of template on how you write your CouchApp. All that it asks is that you put your final site in the public directory.

Views go in the views directory and should be written in CoffeeScript. While it may seem confusing at first, CoffeeScript is a much more efficient way of writing JavaScript.
