Right now, you only get updates to documents when you open a contact, because the frontend connects to contacts using backchannel.connectToContact(contact). Instead, we should connect to all contacts once the app is loaded for the first time. This could be done manually in the frontent, but ideally we could do it in the backend once you initialize the database for the first time.
