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.

There is actually an admin console (http://kinto.github.io/kinto-admin/) and webhooks are currently in the pipe (https://github.com/Kinto/kinto-webpush)

There's an admin panel https://github.com/Kinto/kinto-admin Push: https://github.com/Kinto/kinto-webpush and https://github.com/leplatrem/cliquet-pusher

What do you mean by "cloud code"?

Anyway yeah, we're expecting help from the community to bring what's missing :)

You still have to host and manage it.

We have a one click deploy to heroku button http://kinto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/get-started.html#depl...

It's not entirely satisfying, but that just proves we could integrate with many hosting platforms.

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

One thing that possibly could be added to that comparison: rethinkdb.

Rethink doesn't have a native http API though (as in for frontend/clients, I know it has an admin UI over http)

They list "Fine-grained permissions", but AFAICT, they don't support custom (programmable) permission rules. Is that correct?

That's correct. Permissions apply on a matrix of {buckets, collections, records} x {read, write, create}.
