You can easily run CouchDB on a laptop or PC. There is a little more admin that SQLite but not very much. One of the strengths of CouchDB is it’s database synchronisation (one-way or both-ways) - http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.1.0/replication/index.html <http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.1.0/replication/index.html>. There is also a mobile embedded Couchbase that should sync with CouchDB - https://developer.couchbase.com/mobile <https://developer.couchbase.com/mobile> - I guess that would need a LiveCode Builder wrapper before it could be accessed from LiveCode.
