Livecode Community on Apple Silicon
For the last couple of days, I've been working on getting Livecode Community to run natively on Apple Silicon. There is still a lot of work to be done. Obviously I'll have to change the name, anyone have any ideas?

Re: Livecode Community on Apple Silicon
The IDE stacks are where branding is user-facing, and as you know are separate from the compiled engine.
Given how often the brand name shows up across the IDE, rebranding is a fair bit of work.
You might consider using the IDE stacks Paul worked on for OXT, and maybe coordinating your build as a fork.

Re: Livecode Community on Apple Silicon
I did think about asking the OXT guys for the source code, but I figured doing it from the Livecode source would be a fun challenge

The heart wants what the heart wants, but given your talents if I had any say in it I'd rather see you work on that engine compile than a tedious rote task.

Re: Livecode Community on Apple Silicon
Well, I have some issues with getting the IDE to be installed in the compiled application (I just copypasta'd the Toolset into the bundle). Next I have a few locking bugs to squish and then on to getting the stupid thing to compile applications.

Not necessarily a bad idea.

Why not go flashy?
How about:
