Review of Napkin Beta
I still remember the first hackathon I used Parse at. It changed the game for me.
People always made fun of my coding skills bc I didn't even have my own laptop when I went to my first hackathon freshman year in college and had never really coded before then. I quickly learned how to build some stuff on the frontend but absolutely sucked at backend bc i just could never get the dev environments working and deployed right. It was so frustrating.
When Parse launched Parse Cloud it changed the game for me. I could write functions in javascript and suspend them into the cloud to call from anywhere my app. Didn't have to worry about doing backend dev at all. When Parse sold out to Facebook and they shut it down, I cried. Today, I cried again. Napkin gives me hope that I can one day become the very best developer like no one ever was and build shit without needing to rely on those backend developers who would always make fun of me and tell me i wasnt a real hacker bc i couldnt build a backend.
Thank you @thomaswang and @syps. Thank you for breathing new life into me as a dev. Thank you for building napkin. I can't wait to hack again and finally finish building robinclout: http://bitclout.com/u/robinclout

Napkin is the best way to write, test and deploy cloud functions! I love its simplicity and great design.

Napkin is awesome! It has become my starting point for getting backend for my apps up and running without even thinking about the infra. Great job guys!
