I'm not seeing any compelling reasons or examples on your landing page about why this is a better fit for the educational market than something more general, like Parse. Digging more into your docs show that you have specific endpoints for modules and materials, but its still not really clear why those are better than using mongo without your layer over it. Would love to see an example of an app that can be made much more quickly with Teech vs Parse or other BAAS providers.

Right now our data management API is very similar to Parse and other BAAS indeed, I agree. What we offer that you won't find in Parse are the assignments, assessments and submissions endpoints that basically allow you to register students submissions to quizzes for example and automatically tracking the students performance. This week we're releasing our data analysis API that is really core and will allow to perform analysis on the data that devs gather using teech.io to power their apps. So let's say for example that you want to build a custom dashboard for teachers and show the students performance level over the time or show a sunburst chart with performance of your classroom grouped by a bunch of different properties. Well, using our API you will be able to this with just one API request querying your teech.io backend data.
