Empowering Voices and Catalyzing Success with LiveCode

LiveCode’s Transformative Impact on Mental Health Advocacy and David Glasgow’s Psychology Career.

David Glasgow is a psychologist with a passion for helping children and vulnerable adults find their voice. Alongside his colleagues, David developed a remarkable software called In My Shoes, which provides a vital platform for individuals to express their thoughts on the mental challenges they face. This innovative program has made a difference to many, enabling the reporting of trauma, abuse, illnesses, and mental health concerns with greater efficiency and impact.

What led you to begin using LiveCode?

Initially available exclusively on Mac, the software faced resistance from institutions that predominantly used other platforms, such as Windows. Determined to reach a wider audience, David did some research, leading him to the discovery of LiveCode and our transformative cross-platform development tools.

Thanks to you, Xavvi is coming!

by Adam Howard on May 24, 2023 11 comments

Xavvi is Coming! Thank You for making our crowdfunding campaign a hit. Here’s how you can get hands-on with our new AI and no-code tool Xavvi in just a few weeks…

Thank you!

Firstly, I’d like to start by expressing our utmost gratitude for the support that was put behind our recent crowdfunding campaign. After being told countless times that people wouldn’t fund a software project of this nature, or crowdfunding wouldn’t be a viable option in this instance, we had faith in the community and went ahead and did it anyway. 

And you guys totally blew us away with your support. We managed to raise almost $350,000 as a community to put towards our new no-code and AI innovation, Xavvi. This is a remarkable figure since non-gaming software projects almost never get funded to this level. If you look on Kickstarter for example, only a handful of software tech projects have ever reached this level of funding and one of them is ours! The LiveCode community is a force to be reckoned with. On behalf of the entire team I’d love to give a big thank you to everyone who supported or shared the campaign.

My View on Xavvi – What LiveCoders Need to Know

by Steven Crighton on May 12, 2023 9 comments

Over the last few weeks we have produced some rather fancy-looking videos showing off the incredible things that Xavvi will be able to do. We’ve also sent a bunch of emails and held a few Q&As. This afternoon at 16.00 pm whilst having my last coffee of the day, I felt that not everyone has fully grasped everything that Xavvi is and intends to be. I came to that conclusion after reading a few forum posts and hearing the questions that have been coming in on the live Q&As, So I’ve opened up a Google doc and I am bringing it to you, straight up!

I’d like to start by clarifying that this blog post is intended for people already using the LiveCode development tool, looking at Xavvi and wondering what it means for them.

Generating LiveCode using ChatGPT

by Geoff Canyon on February 20, 2023 8 comments

Geoff Canyon is a product manager highly interested in machine learning and available to help make your product awesome! 

LiveCode

LiveCode is a combination IDE/UI Toolkit/programming language with a history stretching back to the 1990s, and with predecessors from the 1980s (HyperCard). I’m fond of LiveCode: I’ve used it since the ‘90s, I spoke about it at Apple’s WWDC and other conferences, and I’ve helped to demo it at trade shows by building a working app for Windows, Mac, and Linux, all while holding my breath. Despite being a product manager and not a developer, I still maintain a well-liked plug-in for the dev environment, and I use LiveCode whenever I need a quick UI+code environment in which to work.

ChatGPT  

ChatGPT is a language machine learning model recently released by OpenAI, based on their GPT 3.5 model, fine-tuned with both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques to function as a chatbot. It is a remarkable advancement over previous language generation models, capable of producing a convincingly-human conversational experience.
