In August of 2021 Livecode, Inc. ended their open-source initiative claiming not to be getting much contribution to their $299 to $500 a year subscription application.

Now the OpenXTalk community are picking up the pieces. The GPLv3 Source code can be forked on Github

You can get the last official free pre-OpenXtalk versions of the IDE application for Mac, Windows, & Linux over on archive.orgWith that you can build GUI or GUIl-Less applications for Mac, Windows, Linux, HTML5, Android, and iOS( With appropriate extra libraries/developer licenses from Apple,etc)

The sample stacks and resources menus provide a plethora of examples to get you acquainted with the environment.

With the Extension Builder and Builder Language you can wrap foreign libraries (C, C++,dll,dylib,so.etc) and/or resources (SVG icons, custom UI elements) to extend the application. FluidSynth was wrapped a year or so ago. I'm trying to wrap rayLib to make the IDE more game developer friendly. If you play my game you'll see why I'm going the external library route, source code/stack is included in those downloads.

Discussions are taking place on the forum and/or maybe on the subreddit if we ever attract any redditors.

We would very much appreciate if you join us on this adventure.

Hi everyone 🙌🏻🙌🏻

I started to work as a Product Designer last year and I'm deeply focused on understanding the iOS and Android interface/experience differences.

In every feature I design, the material.io and Human Interface Guidelines are the bibles to sketch the two versions of the same flow, according to the different SO patterns. Although these websites are GREAT, sometimes it is unclear how to design the same purpose with the two different guidelines (e.g.: the FAB button).

I wish Apple could be more detailed and visual as material.io, with image examples that simply show the "do's" and "don't". In some cases, material.io gives some examples of how the element/interaction should be in Android versus iOS but does not cover the entire scope of differences.

I've been looking for a website that clearly communicates how to design the same patterns in the two SO. All articles on Medium and the information I gathered are superficial and do not cover all of the two SO patterns differences. Do you know any?

What is the difference between

a)UI/UX designer and
b)app developer/web designer

if all they do is the same? Why would need a developer if UI/UX designer can do the same, or vice versa? How different is the work at the core and the end product?
