How many livecode developers are there?

Post by codemonster » Wed Dec 05, 2012 5:07 am

I am pitching the use of Livecode and I got asked how many developers there are for Livecode.

Anyone know? Is it hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands? Over 50k users?

The bean counters would like to know and it would help grease the wheels of progress.

(That's enviro-friendly grease btw)

The current best estimate from outsiders (read, "people like me who don't really know") is that there are at least many thousands, possibly tens of thousands by now, almost certainly not millions.

For a more definitive answer you may want to contact RunRev.

I think the question they are asking is: "What happens if you fall out a window onto an exploding bus, who will back you up?"
I'm game! :)

The force is strong in this one :D

More on the story...at this point, it doesn't matter to me, I've gone ahead and made the purchase myself and the bean counters can reimburse me later. I'm looking at hoping to put out an app in the next few months.
