I've been on the beta of SB for a little while. Nice product and the guys have been pretty helpful with my questions so far. I'd recommend grabbing a trial account if you have an app to build anytime soon.

Would be nice to be able to see the reference for the API. To know what types of queries are possible.

get/set by key is probably there. But what sort of queries are possible is important consideration.

Hi barrybhunter. If you've signed up you can check out the resource API documentation here:

https://manage.getsignalbox.com/docs/reference/resource-api

There's also the SBQL documentation available at:

https://manage.getsignalbox.com/docs/reference/query-languag...

Is that what you meant?

Yes that's the sort of thing. But ideally that should be available without signing up. To get an idea of what is possible - ie is it worth even bothering to signup.

Like I had no idea if supported geo-queries, and/or full-text queries. (seems not?)

To know how compare to competition :)

If your DNS goes down it'll take your status site (status.getsignalbox.com) with it.

You're right, we're looking at moving this elsewhere in the future. Thanks for the heads up.

Isn't Parse already doing this?
