Wonderful. So two people who work for Parse decide to post the same thing using two different links and both make this out to be something it's not?

I'm going to just say what I said in the other submission [1] here because I feel it deserves repeating if someone reads this one instead of the other.

Anypic: an example of what you can build with Parse.

This isn't an Instagram clone.

1) The site doesn't mention that you have to sign in with your Facebook account to even use it.

2) One of the big reasons Instagram was "cool" or "fun" was because of the photo transformations. These aren't there either.

It's a photo sharing app. I wouldn't compare it to Instagram and I certainly wouldn't declare it as a "clone" of it.

I agree with another user commenting that the cool part about this is the tutorial [2] available to show how to make it. Why not just emphasize that instead of making this out to be something it's not?
