I’ll be honest, the end of xxx as we know it applies to most small platforms. AI will put all these platforms out of professional work. Why faff with some intermediary for a cross platform code base, when a simple set of commands to Claude Code will write the app for you in no time. In less than a w...

I am curious if anyone has tried handling real-time updates within LiveCode stacks? updates for what? the app? Yes - you could look at theSparkle framework for updates. Or roll your own, you can access stacks online and download them. I'm more curious about the choice to use sqlite - something like...

Thanks Pano,
Will 10.0.4 be accessible via LCC as 'Classic'?
Not many have standalone LC10 licenses nowadays!

While a bug seems possible, I'd have thought it would have been reported by now, and I can see no entries in the bug database about 'modification date'. So while not impossible it seems very unlikely this is a bug (keeping in mind 'the files' was introduced in version 1), it's possible your code is ...

your notes on notarising worked fine when I actually noticed them and put them into use ;) I think a lot of the issues I had were from malformed paths for Python and not having up-to-date Homebrew installed. The IDE seems to work very well on macOS Tahoe! Kudos! I'll re-test building it to confirm t...

https://github.com/emily-elizabeth/HyperXTalk You can download and follow the build instructions, but this only makes a build for ARM Macs. It still has all the Livecode branding, so need to get working on that. I thought I'd check this out. I'm on MacOS 26.2, and have Xode 26.3 installed. At some ...

Aha: when will you release it into the wild? https://github.com/emily-elizabeth/HyperXTalk You can download and follow the build instructions, but this only makes a build for ARM Macs. It still has all the Livecode branding, so need to get working on that. Anyone here good at graphic design and mak...

Why not go flashy?

How about:
HyperX (kinda joining HyperCard and xTalk)

Google85 How do you want to use this ability? My demo script can tell the difference between "dog" and "DoG", but then what? Craig Sounds like a good use-case for password management, to name one example. However if managing passwords outside of the home environment, I'd recommend hashing (where ca...

Async callbacks are the tricky case because you cannot call the LCB handler directly from a C thread — it will crash or corrupt state. You need to marshal the call back onto LCB's main thread. There are two practical approaches: Option 1: Polling (Simpler) C side maintains a thread-safe queue. LCB ...

I was wondering if the C code dylib can call back into the LCB? I really don't know enough about LCB (few here do...) According to Claude: Yes, C code in a dylib can call back into LCB, through handler references passed as function pointers. The mechanism works like this: On the LCB side, you decla...

Hi All, I have been wrestling with this for a while now and I have been away from LC for some time now. Trying to get back to it! In an App I aim developing, when I open a particular card I want to populate a field with the contents of a .txt file. Each line of the .txt file contains 4 tab separate...

You could always take a walk on the wild side: both the Open Source continuation IDE and the web-browser implementation. Forever is never forever: but some good folk are prolonging 'things' for a bit. 8) The “wild side” as you call it is not (yet?) fit for my purposes. Webtalk, while cute and surpr...

from the records of the LiveCode company in Britain is that nothing is 'forever' and nothing is quite what it seems. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/SC200728/charges Is this link news to you? This is an old story and while I don't understand the legalese, my impre...

Alternatively, use an AI to guide you through notarisation. They are usually helpful and if you get errors just feed the error to the AI and it will usually sort it out. I personally use Claude AI but I’m sure any AI would do it.
