This is looking very good and it could lower the pain of developping mobile apps, especially for independent studios. Looking forward to learn more about the details of data syncing.

Awesome, I'm really happy to see this kind of technology. This stuff needs to exist, and is really the future of the cloud IMHO.

This is awesome. Really interested to see how this can affect wearable device development and data.

Data syncing is an obvious need and Realm has actually been designed for that from day one. The entire underlying core is build to seamlessly record changes and coordinate them with a backend.

It is not part of the initial launch as we want to nail down the local api's with the community first, but look out for announcements soon.

Very cool. What's the thinking behind shipping with Swift support despite it still being in beta?

EnduroSync (https://orandolabs.com) does exactly the same thing, and it already has syncing. It's available for iOS and Android now, with more platform support coming.

JP from Realm here, I worked on our (experimental) Swift support. Swift as a language is pretty unstable right now, but it's clear that Apple sees it as the future of iOS and OSX development. So we wanted to start experimenting with how to make Realm feel right at home in Swift.
