But Parse, the startup that launched out of Y Combinator last summer and provides backend-as-a-service tools for mobile app developers, says that making such services should not take so much time and money anymore, because Parse's tools make it much easier and faster to build really scalable mobile apps.
So they put Anypic out there to prove it. | http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/26/parse-shows-off-anypic-the-open-source-instagram-clone-that-took-30-minutes-to-build/ | |||
