Instead of doing something somewhat necessary in my life. I was so intrigued by Fuse in general and MacFuse in particular, I rolled up CouchDB into a MacFuse filesystem.
Friday I saw Amit Singh’s Google Tech Talk on MacFuse and it was really fascinating. He not only showed off MacFuse but went into the history of filesystems.
The MacFuse code comes with a couple example applications, but they are written in Objective-C, so instead of looking for a language that I understand I decided to learn Objective-C. Long story short MacFuse makes it really easy to make your own filesystem.
CouchFS is still very raw (mainly because my understanding of Objective-C is minimal) so I don’t have an app ready to distribute. But the source is available on CouchFS google code page. Patches/Help are encouraged. Hopefully I will have an app ready next week.
