Facebook is perfectly willing to release "features" of unknown quality to the user population. The developer documentation&communication is still awful (instead of outright misleading as it was a couple years ago).
This seems completely counter to the way Parse has operated so far. Perhaps on a personal level it's a great fit, but in operation? Doesn't seem like it.
- dweekly 13y ago(FB tool here) How can we make our documentation & communication not awful?
- BenSS 13y agoI will admit this may have changed in the past 8? months, but the last couple experiences I had on different platforms was headache-inducing. Search (on FB docs) would turn up examples for X that just did not work. It didn't seem like the reference examples were tested when the API was updated. Blackhole/flag any examples that fail. The only thing worse than no docs is misleading docs. Another annoying event was app settings would vanish when submitting. Edit: Okay, I went over to the developer site and it looks like things have improved more from the docs side. Progress! Can you say with certainty all the new examples work?
- dweekly 13y agoI'd hate to make a guarantee I couldn't stand by. Let me say this: they're all supposed to work - if you find some that are b0rk3d, please let me know and we'll fix/remove them.
- rdouble 13y agoMake it more like the Parse documentation.
