Late arrival to LiveCode Future (and possibly early leaver!)

2024-08-02 Thread Ben Rubinstein via use-livecode
I've been away, in various senses, and only just read about all this. I have enormous respect for Kevin and LiveCode. I've been using the product since it was Metacard, and Revolution (as it was then) was an enormous upgrade. The first bug I reported in the quality control centre was over 20 y

I agree Ben. I've used it to make tools for myself - Create is not for me. - I'll keep using Classic while I can - Please put everything we to need know in text - I can't watch videos* Best, -- Kenji Kojima / 小島健治 http://www.kenjikojima.com/ > On Aug 2, 2024, at 3:22 AM, Ben Rubinstein via u

Everyone I know wants to keep using LC Classic for a while. Most people still want it. Read this list. LC Classic is popular! Launching LC 10 as DOA or a 'lame duck' makes little sense. LC 9 and 10 are still heavily in demand under the old terms. (I'm not against progress; in fact, before Crea

Same here. I have been into hypertalk since the 1st version of HC. I have 2 desktop apps for 2 different clients that I maintain, and in each one the part developed with LC Classic is just a front end for sending requests to the server and displaying the incoming data. In both cases 80% of the

Kevin has clearly made the point that it has become financially untenable to continue with the classic licensing model. You cannot mean that you want him to go bankrupt so that you can maintain your hobby! You are asking him for what he cannot give. It only remains then for all of us to decide w

as i have previously said, the new pricing ($440 per deployed device) is untenable for my companies. we won't pay 4d for their REST licenses (for a much more complete product), either. we are starting to actively search for alternatives. if the pricing does not change to something that is actually
