LiveCode to Web?

[ewanrgr]

Is it possible to use Live Code to create an HTML5 or other "web deployable" application? Or is that what the server product does? Do I have to find a host who runs the server code to put the app online?

So essentially not now, but someday. I presume that means if I need something that can publish to web I need to find another solution, or is there a plugin in the store, etc. that can be used for the current time?

Any facility that will allow installation of an executable in the form of a plugin would probably be fine with installing an executable in the form of a LiveCode standalone that can download stacks from your server (see "Better" in the post I linked to).

The Web is all just plain text - HTML (any version), JavaScript, CSS. LiveCode is very adept at manipulating text. A good portion of the work I do each day involves using LiveCode to produce Web sites, both in production of the client-facing pages and in the merging of those pages with data on server.

So no matter what solution you use for some parts of this, there's probably a way LiveCode can assist.

And down the road, it becomes an end-to-end solution for the Web, just as it is for desktop and mobile.

Hi ewanrgr,
I get it now... You are thinking does liveCode make HTML5 like phoneGap?
Nope.
Could it be made too?
Probably, lot'a work though.

Next year when liveCode HTML5 comes out, funny thing is I didn't make a pledge to liveCode HTML5 for it to be more like phoneGap. That idea makes me feel kind'a dirty now.
