This is a very cool project and a fun read, I didn't know CouchDB 4 would be built on FoundationDB. Without trying to hijack this thread, I've been scratching my head lately looking for open source solution to offline-first, collaborative document editing on native mobile clients. The closest I can get is couchbase lite, does anyone know if something like this could be built for CouchDB? or any other solutions?

I've been working with yjs, and that is probably the best option for collaborative editing at the moment. Look into it. Reach out if you have any questions.
https://pouchdb.com/ is a JavaScript port of CouchDB, running in the browser and capable of replicating with normal CouchDB.
Thank you! I have come across it before but wasn't sure how I could run it in a native (kotlin / swift) environment. From memory it also isn't particularly well supported in React Native.
