Something to think about as we explore this API. How might realtime synchronization and access look? I.e. two connected clients with the equivalent of a live replication stream between them? I have been using the Google Firebase realtime database and they use observables on references in the db, e.g. database.ref('/db/key').on('value').then(snapshot => console.log(snapshot.val()). I'm thinking about how we update a UI when new data from another client becomes available.

I think with two people editing a map on connected clients it would be great to see new data in realtime. It would be very useful if we ever got mobile bluetooth sync working for two people to see others data in realtime rather than having to do an explicit "sync".
