Investigate using persistent storage so we can increase the available storage

We could follow this approach: https://github.com/nolanlawson/cordova-plugin-sqlite-2

Essentially what this is doing is communicating back to the android app to access the sqllite db in android which doesn't have the storage limit. This is slower and buggier than IndexedDB but the only way I can find to get around the storage limit.

Can you use it as Pouch backend?

Aw crap persistent storage is just for Files API, not indexedDB :(

[garethbowen]

Yes you can use it as a Pouch backend so it would actually work. It's not recommended for the above reasons.
