What Hacker News says?
How does PouchDB deal with conflicts when syncing to CouchDB? ~~Since the docs mention this being a bit of an open problem a decade ago when dealing with online clients and servers ( https://writing.jan.io/2013/12/19/understanding-couchdb-conf... ) I'd imagine its a bit more complex with many intermittently online clients.~~ Documented here: https://pouchdb.com/guides/conflicts.html

HN discussionWell, I'm not too sure - GitHub is part of how we roll in 2015, right? Git based version control with that is part of our culture now --> social programming :) Edit: OK so Jan Lenhardt's thoughts on this: "I'd stay away from it" https://twitter.com/janl/status/621667609986076672 http://writing.jan.io/2012/07/22/jsfab.html
