Show HN: I converted my Backbone/Rails app Cloudedit to Parse in 5 minutes

a disclosure that you're one of the founders of Parse would be appropriate.

Great design decisions. In fact, this got me thinking.<p>I might just start out with Parse if it is so easy to convert it <i>the other way</i> as well.

It seems like we just need a wrapper that lets you pick whether to use Parse or Backbone. That should eliminate the worry of lock in (you'd still have to add the server code if you convert away from Parse, but you'd have to do that anyway).

I may be missing something but how does Parse store/retrieve data? Is it using HTML5 storage?<p>UPDATE: Nevermind. I just found the other article on HN that explains how Parse is a storage PaaS. This article makes more sense now.

Hooray, ANOTHER Parse post on the front page!
