I'm not sure why you posted this twice, but it does sound exciting and interesting, but as I use OpenXtalk which has worked with Dark mode cross-platform for at least 3 years (Linux, Windows, and Macintosh) I wonder if your offering has any obvious advantages.

Like others, I'm curious to see this - but why is it Windows only?
I'm sure most LC users are Mac based and a there is a smattering of Linux based developers as well.

Being a windows app suggests it's not built in LiveCode or it would be cross-platform. And assuming it's not built in LC, it would need to have a bridge into LiveCode.
And in that case, why not build a bridge into professional code editors like Visual Studio Code instead of building an editor from scratch?

No matter how good this editor is, it's unlikely to rival code editor giants like VS Code, Sublime, ZED, neovim, etc. That kind of integration would truly energise the platform...

But please do post a link...

Hello David,

It looks interesting, but unfortunately, you need a Facebook account to check it out and...
...I don't have a Facebook account (as a matter of principle).

Would it be possible for you to post the information directly on this forum?

The initial post suggested there would be a link to access this on Facebook. Yet both before and after the announcement there was just 2-3 pics posted.

Given that FB is a publicly accessible resource there are no issues posting pics here and I’m surprised these haven’t been posted here so these are some representative pics. Looks like a winUI app, not clear how this works with LC:

IMG_3121.jpeg

Assuming this works as advertised it’s still not clear what the advantages are other than autocomplete (given this is shown with the community LC version autocomplete would be helpful). Also unclear is how this actually integrates with LC.

Are you saying your editor will include conveniences like horizontal and vertical split screens, code folding, highlighting all keywords when clicking on a keyword etc etc?

Stating that an editor from an unknown developer will rival the likes of VS Code is a rather boisterous claim… and not one that fills me with confidence.
