migrated away from pouchdb/couchdb database. However keeping this open for eventual offline-first feature(s)

This might be far down in priority, but I've found RxDB to be helpful for this. It wraps IndexedDB (using Dexie.js) but enables both CouchDB sync and GraphQL sync without PouchDB (no attachments supported sadly).

Unfortunately this still doesn't work in FF private, but can help with offline sync in other browsers.

thanks! thats a great call-out. As we'd discussed, I ran into constant issues with PouchDB running in an offline-first SPA. I'd definitely like to (eventually) support that use-case, so this will be helpful.
