38 <h2>Things to do</h2>

40 <p>Right now there isn't anything really shiny or flashy to see;
41 just the <a class="intra-wiki" href="tests.html">test suite</a>
42 and the <a class="intra-wiki" href="big.html">semi-large data set
43 test</a>, though they're not particularly exciting. In the future,
44 we'd like to make
45 CouchDB's <a href="http://couchdb.apache.org/screenshots.html">Futon</a>
46 client work entirely using BrowserCouch as its backend instead of
47 a CouchDB server, but that's a ways away.</p>
48
49 <p>If you'd like to see some code samples of what the BrowserCouch
50 API currently looks like, check out the <a class="intra-wiki"
51 href="#js/tests.js">annotated source code for the test suite</a>.
52 You can also read the <a class="intra-wiki"
53 href="#js/browser-couch.js">primary source code documentation</a>
54 for more on BrowserCouch's implementation.</p>
