Here is a comparison table with Parse, Firebase, CouchDB and others for easy reference: http://kinto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/overview.html#compari...

Great! We were thinking on moving to CouchDB. Do you know if they have any client side code, like PouchDB ¿?

If you move to the Couch ecosystem, you'll also have the option to use Couchbase Lite for iOS, Android, .NET, etc. As well as Sync Gateway which has dynamic fine grained permissions. Of course the whole ecosystem is open source under the Apache license.

Here is a proposal...

Some of the folks here have pointed out that Parse provides more functionality than Kinto. Why does Mozilla provide resources to keep working on Parse, if Kinto is designed to be an alternative to Parse? It is open source after all. It sounds like Parse is still relevant and needs to be continued.

At this point, Parse is open source, too. Why an open source clone if you can have the original?

This is not a feature complete replacement AFAIK. No push , no cloud code , no webhooks , no admin panel , no analytics though I'm sure people will contribute to the project and add some of these features.

EDIT: Hi folks, I was obviously talking about Parse, not Kinto. Kinto seems to have more features than Parse Server for now ! Looks like an awesome replacement.
