Best way to sync between different mobile devices?
What is the best way to sync a piece of information between various mobile devices? You click on one thing and that thing shows up on three other phones/tablets at the same time.
I've seen a couple of things out there, but wanted to consult with all of you. Thanks!
It depends on what you want to achieve, but I expect the way you want to go is to have a server which all the devices connect to. You could do this on a local level (Bluetooth or WiFI), or you could setup a remote server which is probably more common.
Setting up a remote server isn't trivial, but systems like Parse will help you do this. You could of course create your own system (either from scratch or otherwise), or pick and choose the elements you need from system like AWS or Azure. For example, you might not want to synchronise data at all, which means a system like the AWS SNS or SQS might work for you.
In this case it's simply sending a bool indicating that a toggle has been checked. BluTooth or WIFi should do the job.
