First time hearing of Gun. Sounds very interesting! I'm a little confused about a few things though. Is Gun meant to run in the browser? If so how does it compare to PouchDB? And does syncing with peers just mean peer server nodes, or is there some WebRTC data channel stuff going on?

Sorry that the docs aren't clear enough! We'll definitely try and get that fixed with this next version that is coming out.

It can run in both the browser and/or the server. Because WebRTC unfortunately requires a STUN/ICE or signaling server, you still have to run or use a community server. A gun server is nothing fancy though, it is just another peer that helps replicate/synchronize data between browser peers and other server peers. Full WebRTC support is planned as an extension but isn't finished yet: https://github.com/PsychoLlama/gun-rtc .

See my other comment elsewhere in this thread about Pouch. Happy to answer any other questions you have! And please let us know what we can do to further clarify things in docs.
