@gr2m do you want to add anything?

Fantastic work!!!! I'd love to be able to deep link to sections, I'll add a separate issue for that (I mean, while reading, I'd like to get the #anchor URL of the titles, like in GitHub READMEs)

If you need multiple independend unique properties per document you can create reserve documents for those properties.

What do you mean with reserve documents?

conflicts

We thought a lot about conflict management, and we have a dream API for future-hoodie: https://github.com/hoodiehq/wip-hoodie-store-on-pouchdb/issues/32. Maybe something interesting in there for https://github.com/jo/pouch-resolve-conflicts

reserved documents are meant as a way to enforce uniqueness for certain values, and are linked to the mother document via a 1:1 relation. But I have removed that sentence because it has several implications and would not fit in here.
