LiveCode running up in-house stuff for which I get no direct financial return. The "only" problem is that my 'opportunity' lies largely in Education, and I spend most of my time with
If each of us tends to our own opportunities If each of us tends to our own opportunities, we can build cool stuff, build good businesses, and LiveCode benefits from the knock-on effects along the way. Industrial automation is another, collaboration toolkits are a very big one given where we all are with the pandemic, and there are hundreds more. There are many ways LC can be used to create a useful thing in itself, which also reflects well on the platform as a whole. They do that now, and that's where we all benefit most from seeing them maintain their focus going forward. If they were to attempt it, the effort would take significant resources away from the very thing it needs most: a dedicated engine team to keep the underpinnings running. It's best done by a team focused on that one task. The EDU kit I sketched out is best done outside the limits of their company. And worse, it would diminish opportunities for the community if LC were to pursue such opportunities. As a dev tools vendor, they have neither the expertise nor the bandwidth. It's neither practical nor desirable to expect LiveCode Ltd to build all possible apps that can be built with LiveCode. Could that possibly be down to the lack-lustre approach to getting it into schools?
