Is LiveCode still Alive ?

Step 1: Use any good AI e.g. https://gemini.google.com/ . Be aware that AI usage is not free. I found Google to be affordable.

If you use OpenCode https://opencode.ai and use their Big Pickle model, it is free. I didn't find it all that great compared to Claude, but I'm sure if you put the time and effort into it, it can be

Thanks. I did think you meant LC's AI but your explanation is valuable regardless. I also use Google's Gemini for a number of things. Last week I asked it to create a personal app and was amazed at how quickly it did it. There was one glitch where I needed an API key and it misdirected me until it corrected itself. I had a fully functioning web app in an afternoon, written in PHP, a language I don't know.

Here is my prompt:
I want to create an inventory of objects in my house. It can run in a browser for now. The app should allow me to take a photo of an object. It will analyze the object, define it, assess its probable date of origin and if possible, assess its current value. It should allow me to verify or edit the data. Once verified, put the image and the data into a spreadsheet in Google Sheets.

Now I can walk around the house, snapping photos, and everything else happens automatically. I wouldn't have had any idea what API I needed or how to get the free version. I'm limited to the number of items I can scan daily for free but that's okay.

I think I retired at the right time. I read that the App Store is being flooded with vibe-coded apps lately.

Activity here is indeed muted. The use-list also is quiet. I guess nobody needs help anymore.

In my case, nowadays, before asking help on the Forum, I use Claude Code to try to solve and, in most cases, it works.
For example (I am using LCCC) I needed a fix for the "center" textAlign bug of the Android Native Field widget (https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23188).
Claude Code solved this problem that goes back to 2021!

@Paul
Please note that Claude Code seems to know quite well LCS and LCB.
On top of that I exported locally the LCC dictionary (so that Claude can read it, since the new LCC online dictionary is quite incomplete).
Also, I use the ScriptTracker stack (thanks @bwmilby) to export my LCS before any prompt, so that Claude can read the code.

I just hope that Forums and Bug reporting for Classic and Create will be kept separated as much as possible, since things are already quite confusing.
