Got another email reminder that Parse is shutting down.  It’s quite disappointing that they’re shuttering this service after all the promotions and pushing it got – I used it for some ‘free’ logging on various apps but never really used it for anything serious.  There always seemed to be a huge security gap – they gave you all these keys and secret keys to access your database, but they seemed to be pretty easy to find in an app, thus exposing the database to anyone who really wanted to see what was going on.

Can’t say I’ll miss them – though I’m sure there are others out there who are seriously annoyed by them going away.
