Re: Livecode Create - thoughts?

At the risk of sounding cynical I would just regard What happened to "Programming for the rest of us?" (with the wisdom of hindsight) as an attempt at a marketing slogan (certainly a lot better than all the other disastrous attempts at marketing) . . . as it fairly obvious for all the blether anent ...

Re: How do free apps work in terms of licensing?

The answer may come down to when you do the rebuilds i.e. in your own time or while at work, crazy as that may be. Personally I find the boundary between work and my own time if fairly fuzzy as I am self-employed . . . so when asked I always state "free time". For instance, right now I am AT my pla...

Re: Recent scripts list

Beyond Klaus's and my "Transcendental competition" as a seriously worrying character in my murky past would have put things . . . Surely the "Big Q" is, where is the Recent Scripts list being stored? 1. Is it being stored as a 'rude and crude' text list, or is it being stored inwith a stack somewher...

I have never used this "feature" either, and learnt about it 10 minutes ago from the thread from 2024 I referenced. :lol:

Re: Livecode Create - thoughts?

All competition has AI
That does NOT attract me one bit . . .

If I want to use A.I. to do my programming it does not have to be built into an IDE: in fact I would far rather it weren't, so I can choose whether or not to use it rather than have it "shoved up my nose" willy-nilly.
