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

I've been delivering apps just like that for 15 years without problems. As far I can remember there hasn't been an single case where this would have been a real problem.

I'm well aware that it isn't a perfect solution but it just works.

>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.

i building code generator with less then a second to create application. But more focus on business logic environment.All be cater such as header and master detail form.But like most generator code,there is overweight of code.Some code need to removed.The code are based on php.Have try to generate java crud form also but not satisfied with java generic issue.If somebody can help port to other language ,could be great.Sorry latest code don't put in the github yet.

I didn't realize there there was a name for it. Nobackend. catchy. I use SharePoint server as a nobackend solution. All the apps I write are client-side JavaScript. User profiles, permissions, and authentication are left to SharePoint to deal with. I create lists, query and update them via web services provided out of the box. Even search is provided by a web service, so I don't have to worry about indexing content. All I have to do is build user-centric clients for dealing with the data. It's brilliant.

Hoodie sounds like a great generalization for that, in a public/non-corporate domain. Plus it has events for displaying data changes immediately. What's not to like?

Team Hoodie here. Happy to answer any questions you might have :)

Any particular (eg: technical) reason it doesn't support Android but does support iOS? If Android will get there one day I'd certainly be interested, but if it's never coming for some reason I'd probably look elsewhere.

No technical reason, we are just lacking the person-power to tackle Android now. It should be straightforward to port from the iOS and web versions and we’d be super happy if someone would take that on :)

Are you ready for a production level app?

Yes comma but :) — We have a production app, but we are very comfortable running Hoodie in production ourselves, of course. The app has 10k registered users and some decent, but no overwhelming traffic. For similar scenarios, Hoodie is definitely ready, for others, we’d caution and recommend to get in touch with us for a more thorough evaluation.

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.

client-server architecture?
