My Extended LC Family

by Heather Laine on July 2, 2020 7 comments

There are upsides and downsides to having an extended LiveCode family.

On the positive side, the outpouring of support from our customers, old and new, during this campaign (Covid-19 LiveCode Impact Fund) has been cheering, encouraging, and heartwarming. On the negative side, I know so many of you personally, you’ve been with us for so many years, and I’m anxious for your welfare and that of your businesses. Covid-19 has hit everyone, everywhere, no-one is unaffected. I hear about businesses on a knife-edge, and my good friends either catching the virus themselves or having near and dear ones hospitalised. All I can say is – hang in there!
