An Open Source Experiment
Hi,
I just released an open-source browser-based authoring environment called Stackadia. I love LiveCode but recently found I could create projects that included animation, 3d, and more that behaved pretty well using a combination of HTML/CSS/Javascript/TypeScript so thought I'd try my hand at combining things I liked about HyperCard, HyperStudio, LiveCode and other XTalk programs. I know this is a bit off-topic but thought you might be interested.

Re: An Open Source Experiment
Why does it download a HTML file, why not just have it run on the web site?

Re: An Open Source Experiment
Does this feature xTalk as the authoring language?

2. Stackadia Script Add sophisticated behavior with an approachable xTalk-inspired scripting language designed for readable, conversational code.
Re: An Open Source Experiment
On the quick links page you can open directly in browser. The script language is pretty close to xtalk but I had different goals.

You could also publish this on the OpenXTalk forums.

Hi,
I will be creating some tutorials soon, maybe YouTube, and have created a Facebook group for Stackadia. For now I have it marked private but will open it up to the public soon. I probably will not want to continue discussion threads here since it is a bit off-topic Once I figure out how to configure a Contact form on the Stackadia website I will entertain questions there.
Richard, I am approved on both the HyperXTalk and OpenXTalk forums, but I continue to be denied login on the OpenXTalk forum and trying to reset my password has not worked, after many tries I have not received a "reset password link" email.
