Feature request: change the tagline #35

I think

PouchDB plugin for collaborative editing

might be a bit misleading, because PouchDB itself can support this just fine. Delta-pouch just makes it easier by implementing the every-doc-is-a-delta pattern.

I would call it a "PouchDB plugin for the very efficient every-doc-is-a-delta pattern". Or something like that.

I think you should also brag in your README about how replications with delta-pouch will be very fast thanks to the generation-1 optimization. Basically, generation-1 docs can be replicated very quickly compared to later generations, and in your model, every doc is a generation-1 doc! It's a great feature.

Hmm... I kind of like the tagline, A PouchDB plugin for collaborative editing, because yes, pouch supports a form of collaborative editing, but at the end of the day, two different parties cannot edit the same document simultaneously with vanilla pouch or else there will be conflicts. In my opinion, vanilla pouch works great if both clients are online, but if they are offline then collaboration on the same doc is effectively disabled. That being said, I'm open to change the tagline, but I cannot think of a replacement that is simple and has the same punch.

Thanks for the info on the gen-1 doc--I'll definitely have to mention that in the README.

@nolanlawson, wondering if you have any other suggestions. If not, I'll probably close this issue.

Hm, maybe "conflict-free collaborative editing"?

redgeoff commented 10 years ago

@nolanlawson, nice suggestion. I just changed it to "Conflict-free collaborative editing for PouchDB "
