## What it is
Hoodie is a Node.js-based generic backend that serves a client API for building Offline First applications that work regardless of connectivity. It can run standalone or as a hapi plugin, handling data storage, sync, and accounts so developers can build apps without writing backend code.

## Use cases
- build an offline-first web app that syncs when connectivity returns
- prototype an app without writing any backend code
- add user accounts and data storage to a static frontend
- run a self-hosted backend as a hapi plugin
- create a mobile-friendly tracker app that works offline

## When to choose
- you want an offline-first app with data sync out of the box
- you want a no-backend solution with accounts and storage handled for you
- you are already using hapi and want offline capabilities as a plugin

## When to avoid
- you need a modern, actively developed backend framework
- you require fine-grained control over your API and database layer
- your project depends on the latest Node.js versions and ecosystem

- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
