Data Management

[Harjot1Singh]

Motivation

Our database is several hundreds of MB currently, and this may grow in the future. It may contain data that the user is just not interested in consuming for the most part. We'd also like to keep our app size quite lean for initial download times, whilst balancing a reasonable first-launch experience. The user should ultimately be able to read Gurbani and other data regardless of their connectivity.

Goal

The questions that we have to answer are around:

• How much data, if any, should we bundle with the app?
• What is relevant data to the user and the "dimensions" of data?
• How do we download relevant data to a user's phone?
• Does the user's remaining storage factor into this at all?
• Do we only want to download on Wi-Fi, factoring in the user's data plan/costs?
• (How) does the data ever get removed?
• Data updates & synchronisation
• Can the user manage what data they'd like by themselves and see the breakdown?
