>brav-fucking-o

I would have left that part out. Partly because it doesn't really roll off the tongue well, and partly because it comes across as hubris.

If 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, it’s a document database, uses UUIDs and revisions for identification and does HTTP-based P2P replication. In Hoodie we abstract that away in a simple to use `hoodie.store` object with the usual `add()`, `update(), `find()`, `findAll()` methods for operations. No need to know about the CouchDB/PouchDB specifics, just store your objects :)

I 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?

See http://blog.hood.ie/2014/05/talks-about-hoodie-offlinefirst-... for a few pointers :)

There are probably videos. However, I do not have links.

But he was one of the speakers at re:publica[1] two weeks ago in Berlin as well as one of the moderators of the Global Innovation Lounge that was streamed by voicerepublic[2].

Broken back button, bleh.

And you thought you were just scrolling... turns out you were navigating.

I kind of like having the page state in the URL like that - makes sending someone a link easier. See also: Discourse.

They should fix it by not pushing those minor state changes to history, though. Probably an easy fix.
