Build an iOS App on Heroku in 10 Minutes

Looks very nice, but I have a feeling that it's like iOS Storyboards: Great for simple demo apps, but <i>very</i> painful when you have slightly more complex needs.<p>For example I don't know how it can handle the following (kinda conventional for a web app) situation: Multiple users, some are admins and some are regular users, with some shared "data" (like, an item for sale) between the two. Moderators can add/remove/edit items and edit/remove users, users can browse/buy items, etc. - I think if you're building an app like this, you really have to roll your own CRUDful server (with ruby or whatever)...<p>Oh, and BTW, RestKit[1] is probably much more mature and feature-rich than AFIncrementalStore.<p>[1]: <a href="http://restkit.org" rel="nofollow">http://restkit.org</a>

This seems like a really easy way for iOS developers to build/prototype apps with a cloud backend.<p>Is there any security to this or is it just good for prototyping? What's to stop me from requesting user accounts with passwords?

Just as a general advisory, from AFIncrementalStore's README:<p>&#62; This is still in early stages of development, so proceed with caution when using this in a production application. &#62; Any bug reports, feature requests, or general feedback at this point would be greatly appreciated.<p>While it is a great library already, and built up from solid core frameworks, it has its share of bugs and rough edges!

This looks like competition for Parse (and a few others I guess, but Parse was the first one I heard of). However I have tried neither. Is there anyone who's tried both? What are their pros/cons?

So with this, is Heroku going after Parse?

This looks awesome.<p>What would you do if you wanted to create a web-app version of your mobile app as well?<p>Would you hook it up to the api that is generated?

As someone who is just learning how to be <i>okay</i> at testing in rails/ruby, this both amazes and terrifies me.
