    Hey Max, thanks for putting CloudyRec in your list. I’ll write a short tutorial soon once we’ve tested and make sure everything’s fine.

    @Aung: Happy to do that. I’m planning to do the same. One user did run into some issues, primarily that CloudyRec requires to send service parameters as part of “d=…”. See this thread: http://gsfn.us/t/2l18k. Any plans to support JSON format?

    @Aung: and one more thing. Don’t hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions, max at exadel dot com

    Sure, we’re working on json support. I’ll contact you once we have updates on it.

    Hi - checkout codecloud.io. Still in beta but a very simple back-end service which supports JSON.

    @Steve: thanks for the link, will definitely check it out

    @adam16ster : I’m using Cocoafish too. How have you found it?

    Typo: Its NOT ” MangoLab”

    It MongoLab at https://mongolab.com
    which hosts MongoDB. “Mongo” from humongous.

    This service being connectable is a good thing as I already have a MongoLab account and planning to use it as my MongoDB host.

    @Alan: thanks for noticing (fixed), and sorry about the typo.

    I have virtually no coding experience and am using Tiggzi to build a (working) proof-of-concept application to give our customers/clients/members. If you have any advice or specific examples on using a mobile backed service with Tiggzi, it would be most helpful. Congratulations on building such a great application!

    I used Parse but mobDB is much easier. I’m waiting for mobDB to come out of beta.
