" There is an email plugin that does that, but it's just a showcase and we would not recommend to use that in a production app. " You do realize that by putting it in your documentation, you're encouraging people to use it .

To be fair they are still working on 0.x, they probably don't recommend the whole thing to be used in production (although I personally wouldn't mind for some specific projects...). At this stage, I understand they just want to showcase some cool stuff. This being said, we should always be really careful about security when using dependencies, especially when it's in beta, and especially when mostly everything is don…

Yeah, we are working on a website redesign that addresses this. So much to do, so little time :)

Hoodie is Open Source and more like BYOBAAS (Bring Your Own Backend As A Service), you can host it yourself, or pay someone to host it for you. You are not beholden to single company’s VCs. Meteor is about exposing backend and frontend APIs to the browser. Hoodie hides backend complexity as much as it can. The target audiences are very different. Hoodie aims for more frobtendy/designery types, in the future Hoodie de…

> Meteor is about exposing backend and frontend APIs to the browser It is the weirdest description of Meteor I have seen so far. Meteor is all about helping developers to build excellent web apps with ease and spending less time, not providing APIs.

yeah, my point here is that Meteor gives full-stack (yuck) developers all they need to build quick apps. Hoodie targets UX/Designers/Code-copy-and-pasters.

Full-tack devs will be incredibly quick with Hoodie, like they would with Meteor (or vice versa), it’s just a fundamental difference in design and implementation.

I guess this means that the sample web app no longer breaks if it's kept running for 15 minutes? Or is that problem still around?

Not that we are aware of. Could you please open an issue at https://github.com/hoodiehq/hoodie-server/issues/new, and post your error messages? We're happy to help

Just realized .ie is an excellent TLD for cute website names

Less than you might think. It's not a trivial matter to get an .ie domain. The IEDR's rules make things difficult if you can't either (a) demonstrate a connection with Ireland the reviewer will accept or (b) demonstrate that you trade in the Irish market. There are ways around some of their rules, such as getting a registered business name from the CRO, but it really is a pain in the backside.

I write this as somebody who works for one of the biggest .ie registrars.

Moving from a request based business logic to data based business logic (processing incoming data, as opposed to processing incoming http requests) is an interesting shift. Does anyone know what this kind of system is called? I'd love to do more research.

Heya @reconbot, I don’t know if this specific system has a name, but it is something akin to a messaging bus, where clients and servers just exchange messages, if they have a network connection. Messages can carry raw data (a user record), or intents (send this email), and both sides agree on what to do with certain types of messages. Hope this helps! :)
