Broken back button, bleh.
And you thought you were just scrolling... turns out you were navigating.
That is obnoxious as hell.

#12Team Hoodie here. Happy to answer any questions you might have :)
Hoodie is supported by a bootstrapped company run by the core devs, who put the profits back into Hoodie: http://blog.hood.ie/2014/05/welcome-to-the-neighbourhoodie/
Hoodie also relies on sponsorships, donations, gittip and other sources of revenue: http://blog.hood.ie/2014/01/how-is-hoodie-funded/
And here are a ton of more talks, slide decks, podcast links to Hoodie and closely related topics Offline First and noBackend: http://blog.hood.ie/2014/05/talks-about-hoodie-offlinefirst-...

#13>It took less than 15 minutes for a person with no experience in any part of the stack to take an existing single user app and make it a multi-user application with robust security and data storage. […] Bravo, hood.ie, brav-fucking-o.
I find that extremely hard to believe.

#14How different is this from Meteor? (meteor.com)

#15I know @gr2m, one of the guys behind Hoodie - he's one of the most awesome and holistic engineers I have met in my professional career! Also he's a regular speaker at conferences and devoting his time for charitable work. If you don't have a backend ninja in your dev team, you should take a serious look into Hoodie!
Would you happen to know if there are any videos of his talks online?

#16How does this compare/contrast to Meteor?
Re: Hoodie – Fast web app development
#17If you wonder how the synchronization works, it's currently using a custom solution which is built on top of local storage. However it seems[0] that they are planing to switch to the awesome Pouchdb[1]. [0]: https://github.com/hoodiehq/hoodie.js/issues/8 [1]: http://pouchdb.com/
I looked at pouchdb's website and there's a lot about browser support but I didn't see any docs about the data model. It seems you're expected to know how CouchDB works?

Yeah, same here, but it’s a testimonial we received :)
Given that Hoodie’s whole focus is on hiding backend complexities, it is not too far fetched, though.

#19How does this compare/contrast to Meteor?
Hoodie provides a backend for you, you manage the browser.
Meteor (and Derby etc) is a full stack JS setup, where you manage both the browser and node.
Both do data sync.

#20So let's just deliver all our business logic as JavaScript to an entirely untrustworthy client! Whats the worst that could happen?
