About 3-4 years too late. This should have been released with iOS5/iCloud - when it might have been useful.

CloudKit JS has only been released 6 months ago and that was my biggest request concerning it, I'm happy they didn't wait until WWDC 2016 to add this support.

Yeah - nobody was using parse, which proves there is no demand for this kind of thing.

What makes you say no one was using it (my understanding is the opposite), and that most certainly does not lead to your conclusion even if the first part is true.

Just because FB killed it doesn't mean it no one was using it...

The "/s" indicates sarcasm.

Parse's advantage was not only convenience but multiplatform.

CloudKit has a javascript sdk...

Which is based around a HTTP API (also documented by Apple). Not that hard to wrap that in an easily usable SDK for other platforms.
