I also contributed to the HTML5 funding request by the LiveCode folks a couple of years ago. I have several standalone apps that really need to be web apps, but they have to have the ability to communicate with MySQL databases (as my stand-alone apps currently do). For example with string and text and all the other XOJO stuff, having the IDE fake homogeneity and the compiler actually spitting target specific code was for me a smart route, even now.I've been waiting patiently for the end of the beta development phase of having the option to export LiveCode projects to HTML5. Some times I also wonder why Xojo did not do abstraction in the IDE to save us from all of the internal changes, just add fake features, (syntax, functions, etc) and transpile behind the scenes.
I always wonder why Xojo did not take a similar approach (or at least to a degree), I always saw Realbasic as the promise of write once run everywhere.įor Xojo everything went down hill with iOS, they made some poor choices in my opinion and binded the framework to the target, In doing that one-to-one mapping is that we get the XOJO namespace and all the javaisms came to the language, now API 2 is trying to rectify that. LC went with abstracting the UI/platforms. While RealBasic/Xojo tries to expose the OS (in most instances one-to one). Runtime Revolution took a way different approach at cross platform. I hate (I mean I REALLY HATE) subscription services. This was 2018 - and I do not know if they really improved. I had a set of tests for my rating, and LiveCode was one of the worst. Product for future development - but I got disappointed massively. ?Įxcuse my frustration - I just thought that I found the right and perfect Is there anyone at home? Are you testing what you are doing?ĭo you want to sell a product? Or is it just spending money …. So I am in doubt if LiveCode is really the right product for me.

Forum registration did not work (no contact mail for mitigation).
#LIVECODE INDY UPDATE#
Update did not work (downgrade from rc1 to dp11 ! → see ticket).Registration did not work (paid “Indy”).I tried out LiveCode and some others (like “Corona”, ha ha) before I decided to go with Xojo. I’ve seen similar activity profiles on Github for other maturing software, but wholeheartedly agree activity is the first sign of life.
#LIVECODE INDY FOR ANDROID#
It’s now late 2021 and I still can’t produce a “Hello World” app for Android in Xojo. “In Reality” I released successful corporate mobile (iOS and Android) apps developed in LC back in 2015 and have updated them with ease several times since. Expansion from desktop to mobile platforms, open source, then HTML5 (and of course regular but smaller maintenance cycles). The graph really reflects 2-3 intense periods of “well funded” activity. There are plenty of feature updates, however many updates simply driven by updates to the Android and iOS SDKs, and it seems a manageable level of bug fixes. LC release regularly, from memory I downloaded 9.6.3 in late July. The graph suggests to me that LC (unlike Xojo) was feature complete across desktop and mobile 4-5 years ago (which feels about right). Not saying you are you wrong, but maybe I can share another perspective based on my experience of LC.
