Can I use Ionic without node.js to build a hosted web app?

Question

I am interested in using Ionic to build a web app. The tabs, form stuff, integration with angular.js... everything looks like it should work great.

However, Ionic also looks to be geared towards creating native apps for Android and IOS. It relies on node.js for services. I'll just be hosting it on my client's shared hosting account - I won't be able to get node.js working for it. I don't intend to develop the app to use any services, so I don't think I need node.js. I'll plan to communicate with my DB via http post.

I am interested to know - is there any reason I wouldn't do this? If I am not using any other means of communicating with a server, will I be okay without node.js? Is there a better option for creating an html5 mobile 1 page web app?

I also don't intend to access the camera, accelerometer, or any of that kind of thing, so I don't think I'll need cordova, either.

ionic仅将node.js用于开发，而对于后端提议则不一定要进行构建，测试和部署之类的操作
