Yup :) — We are aiming for the Google Docs sharing model eventually. It is specced out and we are slowly implementing it bottom up based on current use-cases.

Hoodie does server-side validation of untrusted data.

They have frontend code that will talk to /singup or whatever the route for creating an account is. Hoodie does nothing different. Thanks for the pointer to Jeremiah, though :)

Sorry, from “delivering business logic to the client” perspective, Hoodie is no different in concept on that angle. Lots of things are very different, of course :)

Hoodie works no different than Gmail. What’s the worst that can happen there?

Yeah, it’s a document database, uses UUIDs and revisions for identification and does HTTP-based P2P replication. In Hoodie we abstract that away in a simple to use `hoodie.store` object with the usual `add()`, `update(), `find()`, `findAll(

Yeah, same here, but it’s a testimonial we received :) Given that Hoodie’s whole focus is on hiding backend complexities, it is not too far fetched, though.

Hoodie is supported by a bootstrapped company run by the core devs, who put the profits back into Hoodie: http://blog.hood.ie/2014/05/welcome-to-the-neighbourhoodie/ Hoodie also relies on sponsorships, donati

it’s not quite there yet, but pouchdb.com with pouchdb-server (npm, gh) is the “SQLite to Postgres” in CouchDB terms :)

CouchDB can’t be bought by Oracle or anyone, since it is run as an independent Open Source project and under an organisation (the Apache Software Foundation) that allows and supports commercial entities contributing, but single vendors can

People were using hoses and lists for things that they should have used an app server for (myself included). As another commentor mentioned, they are meant for interop with legacy systems. That option will remain, but we are likely to depre

@GrinningFool totally miscommunication, sorry if we cam off wrong. We don’t mean to dismiss the offline metaphors we know from desktop apps, in fact we desperately need to transform them over to predominant app design, especially on mobile.

We are trying to get people to talk about offline-first app design for when it makes sense. Weather is a great example, being offline could communicated as an error, leaving the user with an abysmal experience. Or some older content could b

The larger point is that it is worth having multiple implementations of a good idea to choose from, depending what to optimise for.
