Readerly – Sean Miller
by Sean Miller on August 4, 2015 No commentsAre you a developer?
Are you an artist?
Have you ever considered that apps could be art?
I started my own app-as-art journey about a year and a half ago when I had an idea to build an app that would help students develop their critical reading skills. The biggest challenge in building this app (Readerly) has been in coming to terms with how monumental a task building—and marketing—an app can be.
With the idea for Readerly buzzing around in my head, I explored my development options and quickly discovered LiveCode was the ideal tool with which to build my app. Learning to code with LiveCode has helped me to appreciate that it’s possible to be more than just a consumer of other people’s apps. Now that I’m more familiar with the fundamentals of LiveCode as a development platform, my eyes are opened to a host of other possibilities for apps.

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.
