web

[Andreas Bergendal]

I agree that the standalone builder pane for web deployment is strangely under-functional (it would be so easy to just add a few options for title, background colour of the page, custom logo link etc), and it could also so easily include a resize listener per default in the html file.

Nevertheless, already when 10 dp1 came out I was impressed by how much of regular LC stuff that just worked out of the box when deploying to web. Now with 10 dp7 even more things work, even though there’s still some way to go before we’re near a release candidate.

I have made several web deployment examples of various kinds and few of them required any significant html/js modifications. 
Even the browser/LC interaction example, which specifically addressed the case when a deployed stack is embedded on a site rather than being the site, needed just two JavaScript functions of 6-7 lines of code, which ChatGPT effortlessly provided me with.

Still, I’ts quite understandable that tinkering with the html file and adding JavaScript functions to bend the web deployment to your will can be intimidating and/or a time-consuming trial-and-error exercise. So, I’m working on a helper stack that will cover some of the gap that the current standalone builder functionality leaves. I need it myself to avoid having to repeat code copy-pasting with every new project - and thus I may as well go all in and make a proper tool that I can share with my fellow LiveCoders. So, stay tuned! ;-)

The default shipping web wrapper is completely under-functional (no simple customization, can't even handle a window resize, no documentation on what will/won't be possible, no cloud storage interface, ....) that I'd have to describe it as pre-beta.
