Team Hoodie here. Happy to answer any questions you might have :)
How exactly did you convince the IEDR to let you have hood.ie?
IIRC it got to the point once that a satirical radio show ran promos for what it claimed was the first porn site on .ie, but the link was actually to a gallery of a disheveled blonde helping to push a car out of a ditch. Which I suppose would count for some people, Rule 34 after all.
Which has nothing to do with hood.ie - overall I'd say it looks interesting, and a great way for a FE dev to build a prototype or v1.0 of a web app. I'd be very nervous about scalability though.
I suspect this is in the documentation, but I'll ask here anyways: what does Hoodie do with the browser-cached data when a user signs out? Is it entirely removed from the local machine, or does it persist so the user can login while the machine is still offline? (I suspect there is an attack vector there, though I've not looked into it at all.)

Are there any e-commerce platforms that trust the client to do all the business logic for an order/checkout? If so how do they prevent client side tampering with the business logic without redoing it on the server side?
It seems a naive proposal at best to suggest the client would get business logic in lieu of the server. Typically clients need to assist users and they do that by use of business logic based validations and constraints.

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.

Well given that one of the hood.ie developers is called Caolan McMahon, I'm guessing there's an Irish granny involved somewhere ;-)

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 somebod…
Isn't creating an Irish company relatively easy (if you are in EU)? I guess its a fair amount of work and cost to get a nice name if you dont want a company...
Much safer and saner is to get a Registered Business Name number from the CRO. It doesn't cost much, you have it practically forever, and it's possible for private citizens and foreign corps to get them.
