^ BINGO
It's been a great model here.
One of my longest-running projects is a content-driven medical decision
support system, where the authoring, review, and publishing process is
done in an LC standalone, generating web-ready static HTML for lean,
scalable deployment.
And now that we have some nice WebDAV libraries, I'm using that same
model for my own content management, with Nextcloud as a collaborative
document store managed through a dedicated desktop standalone made in LC.
Along the way I'm seeing opportunities to use APIs from Nextcloud apps
and other cloud services to build out standalones providing
highly-integrated workflows across disparate services, tailored for the
specific needs of just about any organization with all the ease that
developing GUIs in LiveCode can provide.
