TL;DR: if a user does not open Cosmic Everyday for three months, its data is wiped.

Currently, CE uses PouchDB, that uses IndexedDB as its underlying driver, that utilizes built-in chromium storage. This storage is considered being ephemeral: though it may be used as a storage for a database, it is not meant for long-term use. As a result, if a database is not used for a considerable amount of time, it is wiped out. It seems that for CE, it is a period of three months.

So, either PouchDB's backend storage should be changed to a local, file-based, more native adapter, or another DB should be picked.

Like Mongoose for MongoDB, ODM is a middle layer between a programmer and a database client module that adds tons of sugar and allows to model entities and build typings and business-logic tests.

Benefits:

• typings!
• more error-proof;
• faster code writing for document management;
• virtual fields and unrolled foreign keys (if the ODM module supports it).
