LiveCode Create Preview Adds Data Binding and more

by Heather Laine on December 22, 2023 9 comments

We’re really thrilled to be able to bring you this update to LiveCode Create, just in time for Christmas. It came right down to the wire but we got there! There is so much added and improved in this release, we’re excited that LiveCode Create is really starting to take shape. Some way to go yet but a big leap forward today.

What’s in the box?

  • A functioning Data Store
  • Improvements to the Property Inspector (more to come on this)
  • Many new Actions
  • Many improvements to widgets and objects

We’ve added the first iteration of the Data Store, with data binding and collections working for the first time. You can add, edit and delete data. While this is very much a first iteration and it is still not a “real” cloud version, it does mean you can try out binding your data to your apps. We’ve also made the first tranche of improvements to the Property Inspector, loads more to come there but it’s already significantly easier to use. More widgets have been added and many improvements have been made to existing widgets. Many more Actions have been added and are working.

LiveCode 10, Things to be Thankful for

by Kevin Miller on November 22, 2023 2 comments

It’s November, Thanksgiving is here and Christmas is on its way. It’s a good time to look back on what has been in equal measure a fantastic and frustrating year, and to consider the way ahead.

This year we have invested more money than any other year in our history into LiveCode and its future. Every penny of your subscriptions, every cent earned from our Services work, and a sizeable chunk of other funding has gone into our platform developments this year. We’ve had a lot to do!

6 Reasons to Get Help with Your App

by Heather Laine on September 22, 2023 No comments

When might it be a good idea to get outside help with your app? You’re a developer, nobody knows your code like you do – so why would you need expert help with it? Here are some of the top reasons that people come to us with a project they would like us to complete.

1.) You’ve run out of time

Happens to everyone. You started that app full of excitement and got a good long way with it, but then life happened. Your code is still gathering dust on a corner of your hard drive waiting for you to have the time to come back to it. Meanwhile, OS’s are moving on, customer expectations are changing, new options and competitors are appearing… Maybe it would be a good idea to get someone else to complete that code and get it out there, in the hands of your clients or customers.

LiveCode Create (formally codename Xavvi) has been making strides and I’m really excited to announce that we’ve just started preview testing with all of the backers from the Xavvi campaign. For the last couple of months we have been testing with 20 hand-picked individuals and we’ve reached the point where we are ready to open it up to more.

We still have a way to go, but I am incredibly proud of our team’s progress on this product. We have a brand new editing environment, with brand new widgets, a new actions editor, AI in the script editor and the first iteration of our Web Application Service to save and load your projects in the cloud.
