Show HN: Teech.io - Parse for education apps developers

Right now our data management API is very similar to Parse and other BAAS indeed, I agree. What we offer that you won't find in Parse are the assignments, assessments and submissions endpoints that basically allow you to register students submissions to quizzes for example and automatically tracking the students performance. This week we're releasing our data analysis API that is really core and will allow to perform analysis on the data that devs gather using teech.io to power their apps. So let's say for example that you want to build a custom dashboard for teachers and show the students performance level over the time or show a sunburst chart with performance of your classroom grouped by a bunch of different properties. Well, using our API you will be able to this with just one API request querying your teech.io backend data.

Very cool project you have! Well as I wrote in the other comment, we're very similar to Parse right now but we are about to release our analytics API that will allow you to perform learning analytics on top of the data that you store in the backend and deliver for example custom dashboards to teachers. This is something specific for education and you won't find anything like that in other BaaS providers products.

Yes, you're right because that is actually just an animation. What we do is basically gather the real API requests count here http://api.teech.io/rest/total_count - we don't have nothing to hide :) -, we subtract couple of calls from the total and we do the animation. A quick and dirty solution to bring some real-life to website, we'll fix it in the near future but glad you noticed it!
