Bringing this topic back up here.
I'm thinking about a custom replicator that would talk to IPFS instead of Sync Gateway/CouchDB.
What would be needed for this to be implemented? Ideally in a way that could be read in from a web app also. I've been following developments at OrbitDB to get some ideas, most recently a plugin that replicates from OrbitDB (IPFS based DB) to PouchDB: https://github.com/garbados/pouchdb-orbit
My understanding of replication is its simply reading in and applying the changes feed and then, dealing with conflicts (the complicated part I guess).
Any pointers would be much appreciated, thanks.
