A Sneak Peek

Here’s a taster of what you can do today in LiveCode Create:

If you want a bit more detail, there is a longer video here. Obviously we are still at the early stages and a lot more features will be added over the next few months. You can be there to try out the features as they are added, get familiar with the interface and hit the ground running when we ship.

Join the conversation.

As part of the Preview program you will get access to the Create forum, and to a special Discord channel where our developers will hang out from time to time and offer insights and wisdom. Every month we’ll have a live 1 hour Q&A session, where you can ask questions and discuss progress with the Project Lead Steven Crighton, as well as other members of the team.

Use AI Today

AI in the Script Editor of LC Create is already useable. You can enter a prompt, receive a script and run it. You can even copy out the script and use it in LiveCode Desktop if you so wish. Think of it as Co-pilot for LiveCode, in the making. It still needs plenty of refinement – and that’s where you come in! Start trying it out today, and your feedback can help us train the responses to ever greater accuracy and usefulness.

Discover Create – Videos

Over the coming months we will post videos walking you through making specific apps using Create. These videos will be publicly available on youtube, and with the Preview Program you will be able to follow along and make the apps yourself. We’ll kick off by making a To Do list, and get progressively more complex as Create matures and acquires features.

The To Do List App

Follow along with the To Do list Video Training Course here.

The first app you will build is a Simple to Do List. This basic app is our first look into the fundamentals of creating a no-code app with LiveCode Create. Using a combination of Widgets, Actions and DataBinding we will put together an app where you can add a new task to your list, edit that task and mark that task as complete.

The list itself will be bound to a collection (think of this as a table in a database). We will bind our new simple list widget to that collection so that each time a new record is added it will appear in this list. We will use our new Navigation Rail widget partnered with Actions to navigate around the app. When we add a new task we will use Actions to create a record in the collection once the Add Task button is clicked. We will also look at the update record in a collection action to edit a task and the delete record in a collection action to remove a task from the list once it has been completed.

In the course of creating this app you will learn about:

  • Widgets
  • Actions
  • Data binding
  • Collections
  • Create/update/edit/delete records

Future apps we’re looking at making include(this is not an exhaustive list and we may change what we actually build):

  • Curated Content
  • Job Board (think Indeed)
  • CRM Pipeline Tracker
  • AI Paraphraser / Summarizer
  • Market Place Fully Featured SaaS App

The Q&A Live Schedule

Some dates for your diary. We will normally hold the live Q&A sessions via Zoom at 4-5pm UK time on the LAST FRIDAY of every month, unless this clashes with a public holiday. Here are the dates for the next few months:

  • 4-5pm British Summer Time – Monday 29th April 2024
  • 4-5pm British Summer Time – Friday May 31st 2024
  • 4-5pm British Summer Time – Friday June 28th 2024
  • 4-5pm British Summer Time – Friday July 26th 2024

We will continue to hold monthly Q&A sessions until LiveCode Create ships.
