Livecode Future

[Alex Tweedly]

It’s the one signposted as something like “growing the community”.

I too dislike videos, so avoided watching this until Kevin said there was info about lifetime license holders in a video.

btw, I am a hobbyist deriving no income from LC, and I think you’re incorrect about there being no place for us in LC’s future. We can build and distribute our non-íncome-producing apps by getting a single developer seat ($449 per year); not a trivial amount but not much for a hobby (less than membership at my local golf club or gym, even before I think about buying clubs or trainers or replacing all the lost golf balls). The expiration of the lifetime license will be compensated for by a discount at the first license renewal (in December 2025??), though we don’t yet know how that will be calculated.
