Setup to reproduce

CBL (1.2 release)
Sync Gateway (1.2 release)
ToDoLite-iOS (patched with minimally invasive sync status feature which displays synced text as black, and unsynced text as grey).

Follow these instructions in order to use Apple's "Network Link Conditioner" to test different connectivity qualities on both the simulator and on actual physical iOS devices.

In the ToDoLite-iOS project, change the kSyncGatewayUrl in AppDelegate.m if need be. Also, make sure that the FacebookAppID and URL Scheme in Info.plist is usable/accurate as well.

Why

Ripgrep is a fast search tool like grep. It's mostly a drop-in replacement for ag, also know as the Silver Searcher.

helm-ag is a fantastic package for Emacs that allows you to display search results in a buffer. You can also jump to locations of matches. Despite the name, helm-ag works with ripgrep (rg) as well as with ag.
