Is LiveCode really trying to compete with AI products right now?

Post by linaah » Mon May 25, 2026 1:00 am

I recently tried building a complex Android app using AI Studio, and honestly, the results blew my mind. I’ve been waiting forever for the LiveCode Create release, but the output from LiveCode’s AI feels so far behind, mostly because it still falls into that basic no-code category.

LiveCode could have actually kept its user base if they just dropped that 5% royalty fee. Unfortunately, it looks like the decision has already been made. Now they’re sunsetting LiveCode Classic in 2027 and replacing it with "LiveCode Create Classic"—which, let's be real, is exactly the same thing.
We are in the AI era now. The role of a programmer is shifting from actually writing the code to reviewing AI-generated code.
It’s such a shame. LiveCode, you really made the wrong call here.
