if I started a kickstarter to convert parse.com api to mono-droid, how many people would kick in? It solves the following problems:
1. push notification. 2. Database. All of them. 3. Sharedpreferencehelper 4. A (simple) user system or a way of tagging (most) phones on reinstall. 5. stuff I think it'd be about 3-6k. If anyone responds I'll open the kickstarter. I just can't work for free.
