If the persistence layer has not been decided yet setting up an issue to discuss potential solutions.

Needs

• Document store
• Both client and server side storage
• Handles sync changes between client and server

  Potential Options

• firebase
• rethinkDB
• pouchDB

Should probably do a little due diligence and look into options. Although I'm not sure any option would be a major blocker down the line. Ultimately probably should not get stuck on the details between them and just pick which ever one you find the most interesting and want to learn.

I like firebase because it requires very little setup on our part. In the master branch it's used for both data persistence and authentication. It's authentication provides a way to abstract OAuth (google, fb, twitter) credentials while still being able to store other user data.
