redisdown doesn't support level@8 architecture

[darkpencil1]

Hey, when copy pasting the current README example, we get this kind of an error.

 throw error
   ^
Error [InitializationError]: First argument must be an abstract-leveldown compliant store

According to this thread fergiemcdowall/search-index#591

"The whole levelup/leveldown ecosystem has undergone a upgrade recently, with the unfortunate consequence that many of the old *downs are no longer usable."

Any plans to upgrade to level@8 architecture?

Wow. You are right, things have changed quite a lot! How familiar are you with the new architecture? Any chance you know a way to make it work with level@8?

Thanks for the quick response! I've no prior experience with level, so I can't take this up myself.
