Getting .ie domains is a pain in the ass. Tons of great domain hacks there but requires a physical presence in Ireland. Good work.

Re: Hoodie – Fast web app development
#112Team Hoodie here. Happy to answer any questions you might have :)
What are the ways that we can support the project as individuals?
Happy to hear! There are various ways - no matter if you're a developer or not, we're happy if you want to contribute (if you want to contact us for details, see http://hood.ie/#about ). There's also the opportunity of sponsoring (http://hood.ie/sponsoring.html) which is also possible for individuals. And you can of course always help us by spreading the word about Hoodie if you like it, perhaps giving a talk about it, writing a plugin if you want to extend Hoodie's core features (https://github.com/espy/hoodie-plugin-tutorial) or giving us feedback.

Re: Hoodie – Fast web app development
#114If 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?
The PouchDB documentation is quite light right now and does assume users are familiar with CouchDB, it has the same semantics as CouchDB (conflicts are stored and resolved by the app)
The documentation and tutorials will be a big focus going forward

#115Didn't appjet (yc 20xx) try this same idea a few years ago?

Yeah, it looks like the target audiences squarely overlap.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppJet doesn’t look like it had a focus on offline-first. And Hoodie is not a hosted platform but an Open Source project more akin to Rails.
In addition, Hoodie is not interested in VC and flipping to Google later ;)

#118Earlier quoted context omitted.
Apologies for asking such a horrible question, but is there a rough timeline for it being production ready? It looks very interesting.
no worries, and thanks! Actually, there is already at least one app in production running on it for a few months now plus a few MVPs, so if you want to go for it: do it. We're currently working towards the release of 1.0. (Disclaimer: Team Hoodie again :) )
Thanks.

How exactly did you convince the IEDR to let you have hood.ie?
trade secret, sorry :)
Well, I work for a registrar. I know practically all the tricks around their silly rules at this point and was more wondering which particular set of tricks you used. :-)
