Should I use Pouchdb or Firebase?
I want to store text documents and notes. Most of them are very short, just a means of tracking information while I'm doing research.
I want to be able to access them from multiple locations, preferably through a web browser but that is not a necessity.
I've also considered putting my information in a text document or word document but I would like to be a little more formal about the process.
Hey, are you just looking for a raw database? Then Xano or even Airtable could be simple options IMHO.
If you want to do a bit of programming and build front-end forms that point toward your database, then you could try an online database builder. Again, plenty of options out there...Five, Caspio, FileMaker, Zoho Creator, Knack.
If I were to build this in Five, I would: 1. Create a single table for my MySQL DB that stores all required information about the document: title, publication date, journal, authors, plus the actual file 2. Build a form for my application front-end 3. Launch the application.
Getting this up and running wouldn't take more than 30 minutes. You can give this a try by using our free download and build a local app first before deciding whether you want to push this to the cloud.
