Thanks so much for putting this together! I tried out the demo and it worked great. I was surprised to see that you have a simple "hello, world!" text encoded as base64. Why did you do that? Do all attachments have to be base64-encoded with your method?

That's because I wanted to demonstrate storing attachments works fine on RN apps. "Hello, world" text is useful for that.
Right. All attachments must be encoded in base64 to let PouchDB avoid calling readAsBinaryString.
