Founding of the Company
Whoop!🥳 Neighbourhoodie was founded in February of 2014, with five original founders and the vision of a slightly different type of tech company: calm, self-funded, and compassionate. A lot has changed since then, colleagues and friends have come and gone, but the spirit stays the same.
hoodie.js
Open Source At JSConf 2014, we presented hoodie.js to the world, a user-friendly all-in-one API for building web applications. Think Firebase, but Open Source and offline-capable.
PouchDB
Open Source There has always been a close connection between CouchDB and PouchDB, and the two projects were in communication even before PouchDB’s first commit. In recent years, our company has become more involved in maintaining the Open-Source project, and has been instrumental in getting PouchDB accepted into the Apache Software Foundation Incubator.
Apache CouchDB
Open Source Long before the founding of the company, Jan became part of the Apache CouchDB project, and has been an active contributor ever since. Over the years, several of our team members became contributors as well, and we’ve always been supporting and promoting the project wherever possible. It is, of course, also our favourite database to work with in our day-to-day business.
