First thing I thought of was FFVII. This looks like a pretty solid tool, will definitely be trying it out.

This looks excellent. I've wanted to build something like this for a while, and I'm excited to play around with it.

Nice work!

This looks great. I've been playing around with Elm, but one thing that's held me back is getting a quick back-end set up.

I think this could probably help with that. I'll definitely be playing around with this at some point. It looks great and the small animations do a great job of illustrating how things work.

What's funny is Omnihash was right below this post when I first clicked on it. So much nostalgia.

Hopefully a backend that lets me stay in my own environment and don't oblige me to code on THEIR hosted cloud platform. I like the WYSIWYG approach, as far as I tried it seems not limited like classic wysiwyg interfaces.

You guys should open source to have the full community behind you to make the Parse that Parse should have been. Easy to use, Open, community driven and deployable anywhere.
