If i were to direct geoff to read anything on here it might be

A positive rant?

Very sure they know this If the person who makes the decisions writes something publicly in the forum and later, not only deny it, but swear that he is incapable of writing something like that, And swear that everyone who knows him would say that he is incapable of doing it… Maybe the arrogance is at a level that makes impossible to allow any acknowledgment It is more likely that it has nothing to do with long term/pro users. It is more like a disregard to any other opinion than his own.

Xojo Web 2.0 review on AlwaysBusy’s Corner

Keep in mind that some won’t and probably should not move their apps. If I had a large web app that was working fine and was likely to reach the end of its life in the next 5 years, moving it to Web Framework 2.0 would not be an attractive option. However, if I didn’t know how long it would be in use and liked some of the benefits of Web Framework 2.0, I’d be considering it. IF you are one of these folks that should not (Geoffs advice) then your options really are sucky since you cant use t…

Where is Xojo Focus?

Hi Everyone, I have read a few posts here and in the ‘other place’ where I suddenly thought “bloody hell, I am paying loads of money for a licence and I am not the audience for the product” many more experienced and long standing proponents of the product are unhappy with longstanding issues and company direction, along with me. this leads me to ask the question in the title:- who on earth is the focus of the product? my limited experience, 2007 to now, seems to be that the focus changes dr…

Say yes to Xojo

I have been feeling down watching the news on TV and reading articles on the Web, not to mention the idiotic posts I read on facebook about the COVID pandemic. I also understand that there are some developers who have very valid reasons to be ditching Xojo. I’ve read forum and blog posts about why people are unhappy with Xojo as a product and Xojo as a company, mostly the latter. Perhaps it’s the sum off all things that are making me feel bad about developing in Xojo while I know deep down I lo…

Replacement for Xojo as it relates to windows development

I have been a Xojo user for the past 12 years and really has been the first programming language where I was able to teach myself programming. If I were to dabble in another programming language for windows only where database driven desktop apps and console apps was my focus… what would be your recommendation?

The Xojo Brain Drain

I still visit Bob’s blog every day, so I wondered what was happening as he had noticeably reduced his participation on the forum. Was still a shock to read about him no longer being a Xojo consultant. I guess he saw the writing on the wall with the amount of work required to change all his projects to an unproven and buggy API2 by a company that seems to unravel and now has a history of poor decision making. Other leading members have done the same, and I can sympathize as I now face a similar d…

all of these end up revealing many things people LIKE about Xojo and their complaints about it

I truly hope he reads the letter and responds in a way that makes some, any, all of us feel a lot better about Xojo and where htings are headed
