emotish & parse

& how i became anaccidental parse evangelist

dan bretlco-founder, redrawn labs

why photo sharingissues with current crop of apps

‣ the same paradigms repeated over and over‣ i don’t care about their community content‣ missed opportunities to extend photo sharing

emotish demoscreenshots are boring

‣ search the app store for “emotish”‣ download at emotish.com‣ download at bit.ly/emotish

how we built itdeveloped back end with parse

‣ free back end as a service‣ SDKs for iOS, Android, JavaScript, and a REST API‣ build your back end on the fly‣ stay within Objective-C (if you want)‣ easy push notifications and social network integration‣ no worries about servers or scaling

NYiOS democode snippets are boring

‣ download at github.com/danbretl/NYiOS‣ directory of app developers‣ listings of apps (developed & admired)‣ accounts via username, facebook, & twitter‣ push notification support

the databasebuilt on the fly

making queriessimply and asynchronously

UI elementsfully customizable

object relationshipslink objects to each other

user systempersistent and social friendly

push notificationschannels and client push

addicted to parsethe intangibles

‣ ease of integration‣ extensive guides and documentation‣ active community‣ speedy tech support

caveatskeep yourself in check

‣ front end + back end = twice as much code‣ easy to write messy code‣ don’t mix models, views and network code
