We're working on a similar no-backend product called Hoist that does most of what Hoodie is but is a hosted solution. We do all the 'server' work so you can just build your app. We provide API's for everything from Data management (just post and get JSON) and user management. We're also working on integrating other cloud company API's so you can quickly get hooked up to them (and do the auth with tokens) on the server side and then use their API's in a fully client-side app.
Check it out: http://hoistapps.com http://hoistapps.com
Would love to hear what anyone thinks if you give it a go. I can be emailed on ow@hoistapps.com
- janl 12y agoCool! Glad to see more of this on the table :)
- barce 12y agoHood.ie is open source, and your code is not. Any chance you can open source your code?
- owenwil 12y agoOur client library is entirely open source, but our platform itself is not as it's a commercial no-backend offering. This allows us to offer production-grade hosting for these types of no-backend apps.
- Arkadir 12y agoMany companies offer production-grade hosting for open source applications. The fact that you are keeping your source closed tells me that you are afraid a competitor (or your clients themselves) could achieve an equivalent quality of hosting for less than they would pay you. To a customer like me, this is bad news.
- owenwil 12y agoWe absolutely think that open sourcing code is important, but not just a giant lump of all of it; a mountain of code not always useful. It's still early days for us but we are considering open sourcing reusable parts of our platform or allowing people to host their own if they wish, but we haven't yet decided on which we will pursue yet.
