PouchDB Users Database Plugin

pouchdb-users is a PouchDB plugin designed to simulate the behavior of CouchDB's `_users` database. It handles password hashing (using PBKDF2) and ensures user document formats adhere to CouchDB's specifications. This allows developers to use any PouchDB adapter, including in-memory or LevelDB-based local storage, for persisting user accounts, thereby decoupling user management from a live CouchDB instance for basic operations. The current stable version is 1.0.6, released in June 2017. The package has seen no updates since then, indicating it is no longer actively maintained. Its key differentiator is enabling offline-first user account management within PouchDB environments without requiring a constant connection to a CouchDB `_users` database for operations like user creation and retrieval. It explicitly does *not* implement access control, focusing solely on document format and password security for user records.
