I figured I would just write this gist in case anybody searches is.
taras/Ember-PouchDB has a more unique api, but I think it passes the ember-data test suite..
nolanlawson/ember-pouch simply makes the ember-data api work with pouch through relational-pouch.
Which one is better? I'm really not sure, but with nolanlawson/ember-pouch, nolan has made the regular ember-data api work with pouch in a pretty clean way. All you do is setup the adapter.
Please comment with more info as I haven't gotten to try out both plugins, I don't know jack lanterns
