Why isn't there a Web deployment category?

[djkesler]

One of the things that drew me to LC was the web deployment. When I started coding, it was a little behind the stand alone deployments but now it is WAY behind. I have been coding for 10 months and I am concerned that this part of LC is not going to be going forward at all. It is a GREAT way to deliver the software that I have been developing. Admittedly, there are a few problems, but I never cease to be amazed about how well it functions.

Why doesn't LC take a more active interest in this product. Not every application delivered by the internet is suitable to be run on 4 inch screen.

I would like to see a forum specifically for the web deployment on its own, not just a topic under an operating system.

I doubt that there will be a lot of future progress in the web deployment realm, although I do certainly share both your enthusiasm and wishes.... and a dedicated category here in the forums would be great should they decide to continue with the technology.

Unfortunately, plugin technology is so "90's" (so say the in crowd), plus the fact that everyone seems to have their head either in the "cloud" and/or in mobile technology (or elsewhere ). Personally, I could probably become interested in Android development at some point (I do already have the capability using other dev tools, but still don't yet), but the desktop and web are my only genuine development interests.

I hope they either see the light or kill the project so it doesn't sit unfinished, only mocking those of us who would like to use it.

I agree and would like to see Web deployment continued... (It was one of the features that attracted me to LiveCode in the first place.)

Anyone here interested in exploring web deployment options outside the browser?

[keithglong]

Inside the browser, outside the browser, over and under the browser (and everything in between)... Absolutely.

Cheers!

What does "outside" the browser mean?

[FourthWorld]

Ever makes standalones that download stacks over the web?

It's as easy as:

Code: Select all

go decompress( url "http://www.fourthworld.net/revnet/RevNet.rev.gz")

I am still pretty new to LC I have been working since June '11 on a really big project. I had heard of this technique, but I don't know of the benefits and limitations to it. Is there any place that has information about it?

Is there any way to "pin" the window into a browser frame?
