This looks awesome. What would you do if you wanted to create a web-app version of your mobile app as well? Would you hook it up to the api that is generated?

- matttthompson 14y agoAbsolutely--you can use the same API without modification to write a web, Android, or Mac client.
- holgersindbaek 14y agoThat's cool. Is there any examples out there on how to integrate it with a web-app as well? What's the big advantage in relation to Parse? I love Heroku, but Parse seems like a really smooth solution for iOS/Mac.
- rhizome 14y agoOne possible advantage would be to touch the ecosystem outside of Apple.
- holgersindbaek 14y agoWhat do you mean by this?
- objclxt 14y agoParse has first-party SDKs for Windows Phone, OS X, iOS, JS, and Android. There are third-party interfaces for many languages (PHP, Ruby, etc). It's not an Apple-only solution.
- matttthompson 14y agoHeroku is the platform of choice for thousands of iOS, Android, Windows Phone, (and mobile web, of course) applications. This screencast was merely a demonstration of what a rapid iOS development workflow with the Core Data Buildpack looks like.
- josephlord 14y agoI think this and Parse are cool. This looks better for getting started quickly if you have a Core Data app. It should also be easier to customise although Parse can do more for you (user registration is built in) but you need to be on the paid ($199/month) package to use your own branded login I think. Also I can't quite tell but it might be possible to take the Heroku buildpack and deploy it on your own servers so i think you would have easier options to migrate away without a rebuild. This is worth something to me.
- jemeshsu 14y agoI watched the video. How does one add user account support? For example to handle multiple users in your example task app.
