Canela Software
by Jana Doughty on November 5, 2015 No commentsThe advantage of using LiveCode is the speed of iteration and ability to write the code once and deploy onto multiple platforms. LiveCode lets us concentrate on providing great solutions. We use it to improve on things quickly and continuously. This ensures that we always deliver the best experience for our users.
Top Benefits
- Unique to the vision care industry, Canela iss able to release on both Mac and Windows platforms with LiveCode.
- LiveCode allows Canela to develop new features faster than its competitors whom are using Java, Visual Basic, and C.
- With LiveCode’s natural language syntax, which is quick to read and write, Canela’s technical support continues to amaze due to Canela’s ability to respond to customer needs quickly.
About Canela Software
Canela Software has developed the leading Vision Testing System in the western hemisphere. Canela’s benefits include:
- Increased accuracy of eye testing
- Test the untestable
- Increased productivity with 50% more patients being attended with the same number of staff
- Integrates with electronic patient records
- Integrates with other diagnostic equipment
- Portable capability allows vision care providers the ability to deliver the service off site and undertake analysis at any location
- SaaS allows the user to pay for the service only when they need it.
About the Project
Canela needed to develop an integrated digital visual acuity system that would increase eye testing accuracy and productivity. Using a small team of developers, Canela needed the ability to deploy its software to multiple platforms efficiently.
Challenges
To effectively participate in its targeted growth markets, Canela had to design a comprehensive set of technologies. Not only did Canela developers have to continue development on vision testing software, they also had to create licensing, CRM, auto update, credit card processing, and in-app purchasing technologies. On top of that, Canela designed CassiaDB, a custom database, to tie all of this together. These were large challenges for a small team to deliver, but with LiveCode, Canela made it all work.
Results
Canela is now the top visual acuity system in the western hemisphere with over 9,000 installations. All of the technologies Canela developed, including CassiaDB, were written entirely in LiveCode. With LiveCode, Canela was able to use out-of-the box features to design its service. Canela Software is currently augmenting its desktop and server business with mobile tie-ins. This is an inclusive approach to providing Canela solutions on any device and it secures Canela’s place in the market as it looks into the future.

Full Access to the Clipboard
by Fraser Gordon on November 4, 2015 1 commentLiveCode has had support for clipboard operations since the very early days, using the clipboard function and the clipboardData property. These are perfectly good if plain text, RTF and images are all you need to put on the clipboard but sometimes you need a little more than that.

Rotunda Software
by Jana Doughty on August 1, 2015 No commentsWe chose LiveCode because it addressed all of our needs. It is cross platform, can run on the server side, and was an ideal choice for our thinkclient and cloud based software architecture.
Top Benefits
- The time from new feature conception to implementation is very fast. With LiveCode, implementation of new features takes days when it would take weeks or months in other traditional environments.
- Upfront and ongoing costs are affordable. Building the app and implementing new features is very affordable.
- Leveraging on Linux. By leveraging LiveCode on Linux, Rotunda Software was able to reuse some of its client logic on the server side, which continues to be incredibly powerful.
About Rotunda Software
Rotunda Software is based in San Francisco and specializes in developing Volunteer Management Software.
Challenges
Rotunda Software needed to develop a best value, highly effective volunteer scheduling system that volunteers could access from a browser with no training.
The system had to be able to handle the complexity of scheduling, be available from the browser as a Cloud Based Service (SaaS), deliver a great user experience for volunteers to check their schedules, and it had to offer best value.
Results
Rotunda Software created a successful Volunteer Scheduling System app with LiveCode and now has over 2,000 customers.

Do you like beach holidays and analogies?
As someone who just returned from a very relaxing holiday, I have only one complaint (that leads to an analogy): the swimming pool at the hotel was freezing! It was too hot to avoid it and it was fine once I was actually in it, but the anticipation of actually getting in it was…?
