Hey guys - Ayo from Hipmob here. TL:DR; we've made it super easy to use Parse for push notifications, in an app with Hipmob installed. We're actively developing more stuff like this - making Hipmob easier to work with tools you already use, so if you have any ideas/integrations you want to see, we'd love to hear about it! Leave in the comments or email me at ayo at hipmob.com

EDIT: Also - iOS is coming soon :)

Doesn't seem like there's an easy way to do p2p chatting without hitting your server (often) with a new list of 'friends.' Any chance of supporting something simpler?

Our API lets you send individual friend list updates from your backend, and we're actually working on a web-hook based way of handling friend requests: if we need to verify that user A has permission to talk to a new user B we can POST to your web server and then update the friend list, or (if you use Parse) you can specify a Parse query and we'll look up the friends that way.
