Anyone using MobGUI?

[John Craig]

Hi, Chipp.  I'm (unsurprisingly!) using the plugin.  I don't mean that 
as a joke - I actually started writing it to save me time on my own iOS 
projects.
Other coders had a similar interest / need (feedback after a demo on 
LiveCode.TV) so it has now developed into it's current form.
It works on both Mac and PC - I've got my eye on an Android tablet, and 
plan to try some android development as well.

The scripts are protected - if I can generate some revenue from the 
plugin, then I can dedicate time to developing it further.
I don't have any problems using protected scripts in projects, but I can 
see your point of view.

Then again, if I decided that using LiveCode was too hard to support 
because I didn't have the source code, and started writing my own cross 
platform development engine, things would take quite a bit longer ;)

The community is small at the moment, but I'm excited about how LiveCode 
is progressing and the things that are in the pipeline.  I'm hoping that 
the small community is replaced by a huge community.

There is a tab control on the way - I'm trying to build a full feature 
set.  The plugin is still in it's early days, and by no means perfect.  
I've still got a couple of support tickets to sort out just for buttons 
- the feedback and bug reports have been excellent - really helping to 
shape things to come.

Great presentation last night, BTW - I enjoyed it.  There are a couple 
of techniques that I've discovered during the development of MobGUI that 
I've thought "hey, that could be a good topic for LiveCode.TV", so 
although it's not open source so far, there's nothing stopping me 
sharing ideas and interesting bits and pieces with others!

HTH,

JC.
