Awesome, really appreciate the detailed reply! Lots of info in there.

You’ve convinced me I should store photos separately; will probably do something similar to what it sounds like you did and have pouch just store a pointer either to S3 or some other backend for file storage. I don’t anticipate photos being that important a feature for me, so having them be disabled when offline might be acceptable, otherwise I’ll probably opt for storing them locally and only syncing metadata/pulling stuff from s3 when metadata changes indicate a change to the file like you’re doing.
