Hoodie vs Trailblazer: What are the differences?
Developers describe Hoodie as "A fast offline-first architecture for webapps. Super-simple user management & storage. Great for mobile". We want to enable you to build complete web apps in days, without having to worry about backends, databases or servers, all with an open source library that's as simple to use as jQuery. On the other hand, Trailblazer is detailed as "A new architecture for Rails". Trailblazer is a thin layer on top of Rails. It gently enforces encapsulation, an intuitive code structure and gives you an object-oriented architecture. In a nutshell: Trailblazer makes you write logicless models that purely act as data objects, don't contain callbacks, nested attributes, validations or domain logic. It removes bulky controllers and strong_parameters by supplying additional layers to hold that code and completely replaces helpers.
Hoodie and Trailblazer belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.
"JSON" is the top reason why over 3 developers like Hoodie, while over 3 developers mention "Trailblazer allows creating sane, large apps in Rails" as the leading cause for choosing Trailblazer.
Hoodie and Trailblazer are both open source tools. It seems that Hoodie with 3.51K GitHub stars and 314 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Trailblazer with 2.91K GitHub stars and 129 GitHub forks.
