> Oh, a hipster framework.

Never attribute to hipsterism what could adequately be explained with picking priorities :)

The hoodie backend works anywhere node and Couch work (anywhere, really), it’s just that the local dev setup with the fancy domains and everything is tailored to Mac OS X. We have Linux support in the works.

The Linux support is good news. What are your timelines on that?

I'd say OSX is pretty mainstream for web development in my experience. If Hoodie was only available for the Atari ST then perhaps it would be a hipster framework.

Ugh, the word 'hipster' should be banished, along with the word 'fanboy'.

I stopped using the word 'hipster' when it became mainstream.

I was doing that like a year ago. Now I have moved on to using "hipster" ironically.

are you on Windows or Linux? Would be great if you could help us to migrate it.

hoodie is basically CouchDB + node.js, nothing fancy. We just do local DNS magic, creating *.dev domains like http://pow.cx/, that is only compatible with Mac atm

Have you guys seen syncpoint? Although having said that, syncpoint seems to have been removed from github.

It was an old experiment of mine. See upthread for the Couchbase Lite stuff that has replaced it.

Thanks, I'll check that out.

I'm on windows 8 primarily, but I also run osx and mint. I'm going to check this out on osx first, if all is good, I can help ensure windows compatibility.

that's great, thanks!

What do you think the probability is that someone considering using this framework is also running OS X? I'd say it's pretty high. BTW, wouldn't you say associating OS X with hipsters is a bit outdated?

Or one that, you know, is based on what its developers actually use.
