solved Question about what Proxima actually is

Hi there

I'm really interested in using Jamroom...it seems to be the best out of all the other alternatives I've looked at....but I don't really understand what Proxima does......rather I don't really understand what is meant by "Mobile backend as a service"....

Essentially my goal would be to have an app version of my community website available for both IOS and Android can this be delivered by Proxima or does Proxima deliver this only partially and would there be more stuff I would need to do myself?

Thank you so much

Its not that.

But that is the most common misconception of what it is.

Both the Proxima system and the Genosis system are more than just extra modules for the Jamroom CMS, they transform some core principals.

Proxima is for app builders. Think: The app is built, now I need to build a website to showcase what it can do. Thats what proxima is for.

You're thinking, I need a way to get my community data out to an app, which is the reverse.

Proxima was built to allow multiple apps to communicate with it.

THINK: We have a company that builds a ton of different games as apps Then one installation of Proxima can take care of every game. Every user of a single game can have their high scores and other app data updated and stored on the Proxima database. Multiple games can store their data in that single database.

Its a back-end for mobile apps, not a way to make a mobile app out of your current CMS system.

It can work that way too, but that's not its intended purpose.
