So Parse but only for android? The benefit of parse is that I could make one backend and use it for ALL of my apps (including web), and they would all have access to my data. If I used this, I would have to make a kludge (if it is even possible) to access my data for iOS and windows (because as a business I'd want to expand). It looks awesome if you plan to make a one-off app for android only, but it doesn't look like something I'd use as a startup founder or small business owner (wouldn't want to lock myself into a single environment). I like the fact that parse is getting some competition, I don't like the fact that it only works for one platform (for now anyways).
- tosh 13y agoIt seems like it is using Google Cloud Endpoints which means that you can generate client libraries for various languages (Dart, Ruby, Objective-C, Python, JavaScript, …) from your backend API definitions. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy0tP6_kWJ4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy0tP6_kWJ4 We are currently looking into Google Cloud Endpoints for exactly this functionality at Blossom (https://www.blossom.io https://www.blossom.io)
- philips 13y agoI started testing out the Google Cloud Endpoints stuff with Go Lang and it seems like a good fit for building REST APIs. I would be interested in hearing opinions from people who have used it for a while about how well it works. I used these two projects in my prototype: https://github.com/crhym3/go-endpoints https://github.com/crhym3/go-endpoints https://code.google.com/p/google-api-go-client/source/browse/google-api-go-generator/gen.go https://code.google.com/p/google-api-go-client/source/browse...
