Database changes do not arrive in another window

[kabalage]

Example:
https://jsbin.com/gefurupogi/1/edit?html,js,console,output

1. Open the example twice
2. Click buttons
3. Watch for changes in the console

Without worker-pouch the change is received in both windows.
With worker-pouch the change is received in only the window where the db.post() call happens.

Yep, this bug occurs because there's no way to communicate across the worker boundary. Luckily there are efforts to get change observers into IndexedDB, which would solve this problem.

Unfortunately it may be some time before this gets into browsers, meaning until then you'll have to manually do postMessage() and/or use SharedWorkers in order to get change events firing consistently in all tabs/workers.

Thank you, I will look into the workarounds then.
