How often do you find yourself repeating the same task over and over again? Creating a circle profile picture in LiveCode is a pretty straightforward task but this beautifully simple widget makes it even easier.
Next up in the Spotlight is the Circle Avatar Widget from LiveCode. This new widget allows you to create profile avatars that match the features found in today’s account areas.
Of course you can create your own buttons in LiveCode, customize them yourself in a multitude of ways, and get them pixel perfect for every platform. But why reinvent the wheel, or in this case the button? Just use this great widget for professional UI’s across the board.
The Power Button easy to use and highly customisable widget allows you to create beautiful modern buttons that work whilst continuing to look great across all deployment platforms.
The question of security when using API Keys is something that comes up fairly often, so I thought it would be useful to write a blog post covering what I believe to be best practice when using these keys.
I have come across three kinds of API key in practice:
1) API keys intended to be used from web pages (in client-side code)

read moreOur next “In the Spotlight” is the new Responsive Layout Library from LiveCode. With the launch of the Summer MegaBundle we are bringing lots of new add ons to LiveCode and this series is shining the spotlight on them to show you how they can benefit your projects.
The brand new Responsive Layout library lets you create dynamic responsive layouts without writing any additional code. You simply choose from a series of options which cover the majority of the most common layout tasks and then watch your layout magically adapt as your window resizes.
With the launch of the Summer MegaBundle you may have noticed quite a few new widgets appear that you’ve not seen before. Over the coming weeks we are going to shine the spotlight on those widgets to allow you to see what they are and what they can bring to your development.
In the Spotlight today we have the new Polygrid widget brought to you by LiveCode Ltd. This widget was recently acquired by LiveCode and is the perfect widget for developers who want to display data in a simple and modern way. With Polygrid you can quickly create beautiful tables with native scrollbar managed by the widget itself for all platforms supported by LiveCode, ensuring optimal performance. Scrollbar support for all platforms means your data is always easily accessible, regardless of device or screen size
Today we are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 9.6.8 rc-1 and the latest 10 preview release, Developer Preview 4, both of which now include the ability to run natively on the latest Apple architecture.
LiveCode 9.6.8 is a maintenance release, and as such focusses primarily on bug fixing and regressions. We have made an exception for the new Apple architecture support, to ensure this gets into a stable release as soon as possible without having to wait for the end of the LiveCode 10 release cycle. The LiveCode 10 dp4 release has a few more of the features you’ve been waiting to get your hands on.

One positive for our team in particular: although working to New York time meant some late nights, at least none of us were jetlagged while we were doing it! Another benefit of having an online event of course is that it is accessible to a wider audience.
read moreDay 2 of the conference was just as jam packed with content as Day 1, if not more so. Over 14 great sessions, presented by excellent speakers from within and outside LiveCode, we covered submitting to the App Store, a new Mobile IDE, a LiveCode Chess Engine, using REST Api’s, converting from HyperCard and so much more. Here are just a few of the highlights from yesterdays sessions.
