That’s the solution I was thinking about.
It’s probably necessary to capture the screen image at a larger size for
printing as I suspect otherwise the

Hi all,
Read about new developments in LiveCode open source and the open source
community in today's edition of the "This Week in LiveCode" newsletter!

Folks:
A LOT of elementary school teachers are using Chromebooks to teach online. So…
I am wondering what the current situation is with Android (?) apps on
Chromebooks.
Is anybody developing apps for Chromebooks? Are there gothchas? Any pointers to
online Chromebook specific docs? I may invest
Would HTML5 be a better option?

Probably HTML5 would be better, ultimately. But, I look at the HTML5 postings,
limitations, and quirks and it would most likely require me to become an expert
in javascript and various server technologies that put me over the interest
level that would be required. I’m fine with programmin

Could you not just deploy a Linux desktop Livecode app to a
Chromebook? ChromeOS is a Linux distribution, if admittedly a stripped
down one, after all.
You can install some regular desktop Linux software such as regular
Libre Office on Chromebooks. Some software you cannot install though

I am a longtime user of Chromebooks in education and most 'cheap'
Chromebooks' come with only 4 GB RAM.
The Chrome browser itself uses a lot of RAM already and my experience with
Android apps on Chromebooks is that they are slow (lack of available RAM)
or sometimes not fully functional/compatible.

Alas, while ChromeOS is based on the Linux kernel, everything above the
kernel is different (desktop manager, composito

Then we are going to need to get Frazier back with Apple’s new all in

*MUCH*
Fortunately, I've seen github notifications for the last few months that
point toward ARM capability, so I'm guessing we're on track for this.
For OSX anyway.

Despite using Raspberry Pi devices allot I somehow did not think of
ARM chips. I did not know Chromebooks were based on them.

Thanks for the info, folks! I don’t see anything that would draw me to
Chromebooks.
Seems it’s another world. Too bad. Education really needs good apps at all

I've had fairly good experiences running an Android app on Chromebook. The manufacturer
matters. On my Lenovo there are a few glitches, on my client's Asus Flip there are a few
different glitches, but in general they are minor. I've made two Android apps that also run on

I may invest in a Chromebook, for testing, but would like to scope out the

I forgot to mention that I recently saw that some of last year's Chromebooks are going for as

Thanks, Jacqueline! I’ll file that info away for future pondering. I’m glad

chromebook.
