A client needs to make minor updates to the text in a number of modules I've created over several years. To eliminate the back-and-forth of corrections and proofs, he's asked about making the changes himself in LiveCode. (He's never used LiveCode and doesn't have a copy.)
Simple to do technically, but beyond the GPL implications it's also perhaps a bit cumbersome in terms of usability.
LC is a good software development environment, but perhaps a bit much for simple text editing.
I wonder if another option might be to make an Editor app which opens the stack and unlocks the fields for editing, and then locks them again before saving.
With many of my clients we build custom authoring environments in addition to the delivery environment for the end-user, and the modest up-front investment almost always pays off very well over the life cycle of what we're building together.
