@suathh Thanks for your feedback. I agree and this is something we will be looking at.
The topic about AI for Parse Server did not resonate much (to my surprise), but example projects about emerging technologies like AI, crypto, blockchain, robotics, quantum surely make for attractive and exciting entry projects for new developers. (If you want to ideate around a crypo parse server example project, feel free to open a new topic.)
Parse used to be a commercial brand and we have been largely benefiting from and resting on the efforts the former commercial Parse / Facebook team has put into marketing to establish this brand. While we are currently entertaining a few social media channels and do have a tech blog article written about us every now and then, there is clearly more we can do and in a more strategic and coherent way. For example, we are currently in talks to develop strategic partnerships and increase the interconnection to other developer communities, for the Parse Platform to gain more exposure.
The PMC is currently fundamentally rethinking its project management approach, from being rather reactive to becoming more pro-active and forward-planning. This should yield concrete strategic objectives and plans how to reach them, and marketing is one aspect. Developing a mission statement is the first step in this journey. We will share more in the months ahead to gather community feedback.
