Allowing non hacky 2 way communication with JavaScript via lc browser is a potentially huge win should it ever happen. Every time I come across technical discussion of making web apps for the desktop there is a huge chorus or discontent with the currently most viable option Electron - an inefficient bloated memory hog basically. With the right pitch livecode could make inroads there.
Separately a revenue suggestion is to make the business license offering less about minor features that are missing from indy ( groan) and more about business support features. That's what businesses look for when investing in any kind of technology platform / equipment and is pretty much the only real differentiator of substance that would justify the monetary upgrade from indy. Seems to get a footnote. Gamifying business support with a"points" system is also needlessly obtuse. It should be no nonsense and straight forward. X amount buys this many hours for y per month etc. On 15 Apr 2017 4:31 pm, "Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode" < [email protected]> wrote: > Everyone who uses LiveCode benefits if the company grows and thus is able > to improve the product faster. > > I thought some of us might have original ideas that could help the > company.
