Objections

  • Headline is click-bait; design not beautiful

    From 3 comments
    • It's not convenient, because you have to use this entire Parse thing (and pay for it). The headline is bullshit click-bait.

    • I agree abou the headline, I don't think you could call the design beautiful.

  • Fewer repeated password prompts

    From 1 comment
    • All they need is a little checkbox "Never ask again". The never ending stream of password prompts I encounter also have nothing to do with paid apps - I don't even have a card…

Questions

  • Does Parse's JS HTML5 support expose the full database?

    From 1 comment
    • Welldone parse. Good job. I hope you guys are moving on to the HTML5 areana pretty soon. I don't like the current HTML5 support you have. It allows JS to handle your full DB. If…
