/**
 * GENERAL PROCESS:
 * make a get request to server with current lastSynced
 * parse the response. the response should contain everything that user has on the server
 * decrypt the response
 * merge everything into the database and look for conflicts
 * send the conflicts (if any) to the end-user for resolution
 * once the conflicts have been resolved, send the updated data back to the server
 */

/**
 * MERGING:
 * Locally, get everything that was editted/added after the lastSynced
 * Run forEach loop on the server response.
 * Add items that do not exist in the local collections
 * Remove items (without asking) that need to be removed
 * Update items that were editted before the lastSynced
 * Try to merge items that were edited after the lastSynced
 * Items in which the content has changed, send them for conflict resolution
 * Otherwise, keep the most recently updated copy.
 */

/**
 * CONFLICTS:
 * Syncing should pause until all the conflicts have been resolved
 * And then it should continue.
