Write tutorials for real world use cases

[juliangruber]

Beginners would feel way more welcome and we had more shareable stuff if we had some well written tutorials for realworld usecases, showing the leveldb way and showcasing plugins.

Initial ideas:

• the redis twitter tutorial ported to leveldb
• creating indexes
• map reduce (should be for map-reduce beginners)
• simple persistent realtime data with level-scuttlebutt
• philosophical rant on databases that are monoliths
• accessing a db from multiple processes
• writing a levelUp plugin

More website-/app-y ideas would be great though

I'm trying to get around to an introductory article on LevelUP/LevelDB for dailyjs.com. I was just thinking about it when you posted this!
Also, we need a Resources page on our wiki.

Good idea @juliangruber. I think tutorials should be a page of it's own, linked to from the first wiki page. When people are looking for tutorials they want them fast. Having a more general resources page is also good. The resources page could link to blog articles etc.

Changed my mind. Added resources page skeleton, linked from first wiki page. Add stuff peeps! 🍺

Where are the MWEs to use abstract-level, eg error on:

const { Level } = require('abstract-level')
// Create a database
const db = new Level('./db', { valueEncoding: 'json' })

And this look intimidating
