The Low-Profile Dog Hoodie Mascot

Hoodie lets you build apps without thinking about the backend and makes sure that they work great independent of connectivity.

This is Hoodie’s main repository. It starts a server and serves the client API. Read more about How the Hoodie server works.

A good place to start is our Tracker App. You can play around with Hoodie’s APIs in the browser console and see how it works all together in its simple HTML and JavaScript code.
