Parse is shutting down today

Huh. Yeah, I dove around a bit, browsed the wiki, etc, and so far all I've seen is the equivalent of "an open source version of the Parse backend". No description anywhere that I can see about what it does or why you should care (unless you're already on Parse, of course).

IIRC the Parse homepage used to have this, but ever since the shutdown notice (so, for the past year) the homepage has largely been useless.

So many posts on HN are like this, assuming that every obscure webservice is common knowledge. "Jabberwocky has reached version 1.1! Performance increased by 30%, users must migrate from 1.0 by the 12th. Use Jabberwocky in your business now! New users get a free trial!" OK that's nice but what tf is it and why should I care?

Yesterday I built a 100M user social network using Jabberwocky. It took me just 25 minutes, bro, and now I've retired to my own private Caribbean island.

So it's you on my Caribbean lawn! Now get off it.
