Livecode Dictionary

[Brian Milby]

Interesting.  I just checked on GitHub and the oauth token for LiveCode was recently revoked automatically since it was not used.  It’s been quite a while since I did it and I can’t recall about having write access.  There are several apps that I still have linked (Hacktoberfest...).

Thanks,
Brian
