TidBITS: LiveCode Crowdfunding HTML5

[Peter Bogdanoff]

**LiveCode Crowdfunding HTML5 Web App Deployment** -- The 
 cross-platform development environment LiveCode, perhaps the most 
 successful of HyperCard’s successors, can deploy apps to Mac OS X, 
 iOS, Windows, Android, and several flavors of Unix. LiveCode’s 
 developer, RunRev, raised nearly $840,000 via Kickstarter in 
 February 2013 to make an open-source edition of LiveCode (see 
 “LiveCode Crowdfunds Free, Open-Source Update,” 22 February 2013), 
 and now the company is turning to the crowdfunding approach again. 
 This time the goal is to enable LiveCode developers to write apps 
 that can be deployed as HTML5 Web apps and run in a browser. It’s a 
 compelling promise, but they’re just over halfway with three days to 
 go, so check out the fundraising page (which isn’t run through 
 Kickstarter) by the end of July if you’re interested in helping.
