The trouble with local storage is that it works fine day after day until suddenly it doesn't. It might be because of something inscrutable that the browser has done when it detects a shortage of disc or memory space, or it might be yourself clearing history without remembering that doing so also nukes local storage... There's nothing wrong with PouchDB, it uses local storage in entirely the most appropriate way: as a local cache to add a layer of protection in case of network issues or crashes.
