### Pre-requisites
|
|
|
|
- **CouchDB 1.5 or later**, because of the use of `POST /{db}/_changes`,
|
|
- **Node.js**, to load the design documents in the database.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:**
|
|
>
|
|
> - In order to work with https://stackedit.io, your database has to be accessible through HTTPS. You can use a free hosting service like [Smileupps](https://www.smileupps.com/) or [configure your own instance to use SSL](http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/config/http.html#ssl).
|
|
>
|
|
> - StackEdit doesn't deal with user access rights, but you can still set permissions for your database and configure StackEdit to connect to it using URL like this: `https://username:password@instance.smileupps.com/documents`.
|
|
>
|
|
> - It's up to you to trigger the database compaction, or to keep the full history of your documents.
