localForage VS PouchDB

Not really an answer but have you looked into https://github.com/localForage/localForage

I may not be pointing you in the right direction but, please read about [IndexDB storage](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB\_API) method and packages like [localForage](https://localforage.github.io/localForage/) that use it under the hood.

LocalForage: this is a wrapper around IndexedDB, WebSQL, LocalStorage, and SessionStorage with a way to define more interfaces (called drivers) *for additional storage solutions. It does a great job handling all your serialization needs, it is **asynchronous **and handles a large set of data types. Its **API resembles Web Storage API* and it is ridiculously simple to learn.

Depending on what kind of storage requirements you have, LocalForage might be a good fit. It provides a unified API to access WebSQL, indexedDB or localStorage.

I find localForage is pretty helpful for this stuff https://github.com/localForage/localForage

localForage (https://localforage.github.io/localForage/) mirrors localStorage syntax, but uses IndexedDB in the background. If that's not supported, it uses WebSQL and then LocalStorage

This is why we have localForage.

I have used pouchdb as an embedded db for electron - API and performance were not the best, but that was the price to pay for the requirements.

I love PouchDB, it's incredible, however I fear its a project that is loosing it momentum (I do think it has pick up a little over the last year though).

It has a very aggressive stale bot closing issues (this search shows 700 closed stale issues https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/issues?q=is%3Aissue+stale...), some which I really don't think it should have. It gives the impression of a very active but stable platform that I don't necessarily think is accurate.

For example I found a hash collision bug while working on a side project, the issue was closed as stale (https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/issues/8257)

Fortunately, PouchDB is still maintained, and recently they've shipped v7.3.0 🎉. Much appreciated the community effort.

Sucks that couch doesn't work well for sync :( I was hoping that I could set up sync between my laptop and phone without a server since those are the two primary devices I use. Is this the issue with deletion you were talking about?

Thankfully the community helped me figure this out. You can read about detail on the issue here at github .

Maybe PouchDB.
