Re: Some sad news
Sad indeed. :-( HH's LCB snippets and examples were helpful and inspirational, and in some ways I actually enjoyed reading some of those cantankerous exchanges on bug reports. I wish he'd posted all of his LCB code as some of his more interesting to me LCB work he didn't release the source for. I thought that he had left the LC community out of frustration. I started to add to his LCB snippets thread in the forums and he never commented (he was numbering the examples), now I know why. He will be missed. R.I.P.

Hermann and I met some years ago at one of the Edinburgh conferences and we spent several hours that week talking while walking around town, grabbing food, etc. We kept up our correspondence over time and he was a great and persistent beta tester for me, finding small details to fix and offering suggestions as to what might be improved. He corrected my mathematical thinking more than a few times. His contributions to both the Raspberry Pi and HTML5 topics on the web forum are consistently amazing and he kept pushing the envelope on both these fronts. -- Mark Wieder ahsoftw...@gmail.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Indeed sad news - Hermann was a competent LC coder and contributor. I enjoyed his comments. Glad to hear HTML5 support is improving; it's time. Good potential.

Re: Some sad news
I thought he stopped the community because he was not happy about the progress on HTML5... This is very sad, a helpfull and smart man and a lung physician too.(he said once) Rest in Peace.

Re: Some sad news
Oh, I am shocked. I deeply felt condolences to his family and friends. I had a chat with him at the beginning of the year, and I was thinking of calling him since he seemed to be grumpy that we did not follow up fast enough to meet his demands. Now this...

Re: Some sad news
I think we all have been dazzled by what Hermann was able to do with LC HTML5. Our community has been enriched by Hermann and many others for whom LiveCode and the idea of “coding for everyone" is a passion. He will be missed. Condolences to his family. As others have noted, we also remember other LiveCode late-greats: Mark Smith and Eric Chatonet. I’m sure I am forgetting someone, but their legacy lives on in their generous contributions to the LiveCode developer community, Thanks to all who continue to keep their work available.

Re: Some sad news
That's very sad news. I'd noticed he had been quiet on the forum. HH made some truly extraordinary contributions. Just a few days ago I was just looking at his Jigsaw HTML5 app, and was astonished at what he had achieved. He might not have been happy with the limitations in the HTML5 standalone, but he pushed what could be done to the max, inspiring many of us to look at what was possible rather than on what was not possible. I've never been part of an online community for so long that I've seen half a dozen great contributors pass away. HH always went the extra mile with any problem in our community where he got involved. He will be missed :( On Fri, Dec 4, 2020 at 12:07 PM Heather Laine via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Dear List Folks, > > I have today received some sad news.

Re: Some sad news
This is sad news. Hermann was a LiveCode Pioneer and such a great resource to LiveCode users and LiveCode itself pushing at the boundaries of what you can do with LiveCode and HTML 5 and as Heather mentioned pushed livecode staff to realize more of its potential. He made so much code freely available to other users showing us possibilities we may not have realized and was always ready to assist other users with questions on the list. I am glad to see that legacy is being preserved. This reminds me of another LiveCode pioneer Mark Smith who passed away too young. His work has been preserved as well. http://marksmith.on-rev.com/revstuff/ http://www.pdslabs.net/the-mark-smith-collection/ I think it would be good to have a way to commemorate people like Hermann and Mark with something like an annual online lecture or award presented annually to other pioneers or contributors to the LiveCode in their honour.
