Anyone else waiting for Layer to become a thing?

Between a few companies I've worked at we've been waiting for Layer (http://layer.com) — Does anyone know of any alternatives to Layer and if Layer is coming out of closed Beta soon? Anyone using it in Beta?

They have testimonials from people that have "access" to the platform, so haven't you gotten early access yourself?

I haven't, signed up but never heard back.

We're using it in Beta right now. We've had a lot of issues with the API & they don't support web atm (due to websockets) but I believe this is coming in a couple of months. Only iOS & Android right now.

Alternatives are Pusher & PubNub: https://pusher.com/ http://www.pubnub.com/
