What's everyone working on this month? (September 2016)

[Matt Maier]

I've been building a website in Livecode and revIgniter. I wanted a
passwordless authentication system so I had to roll that from scratch.

Now I'm connecting my desktop app to the website so that users can sync
their projects and make them available online.

This way people who know how to make things, and want to share (focusing on
open source hardware) can easily keep track of all the details. People who
need to know how to make things can get a BOM and instructions all neatly
organized and up to date.

The website (bare bones at the moment) is https://www.howstr.com

You can learn about and download Howstr here http://github.howstr.com

If you're a Livecode developer looking for contract work I'd be interested
in discussing specific projects. There aren't many Livecode devs around.
