Xojo Hmmmm 🤔

That’s what I pray since years. Get outa there otherwise you may not have the results you need to exist

Have you read about including chatgpt in XOJO ?…

Ricardo’s project works fine with current version. So, I do not get what you wrote. Care to explain ?

The issue isn’t solved for the customer. There’s a delta between Ricardo’s and Howard’s observations.
This delta needs to be cleared and Ricardo just reopened the issue because it requires further investigation/exchange of information.

The reliance on a bot for automated closing of issues has been flagged as malpractice - and still it continues.
The cognitive dissonance created by Xojo’s ‘quality’ claims and the operational reality can only be solved by either dropping Xojo because of continued malpractice or believing in marketing statements. Facts and words collide.

And that will change what Emile? Nothing. Sorry but before integration of ChatGPT should Xojo start to build up a clean codebase. Let it be clean as JDK and then integrate what ever you want to. But integrating ChatGPT into Xojo will not change anything to the positive side.

Not really. Read more passionated what they write. No lies. Not obviously lies. They tell you what they want to do. And after they have done it they tell you what they believe it can. And the Bugs: to take care of such a bunch of Bugs you would need a Big Service Team and an even bigger Programmers team. What ever, makes no change. The edge where I am standing is much more comfortable than Xojo what I always realize when Customers are asking me for rewriting their projects to Java or C++. While I have both I ´have also written in Kolin for the Web. Also working and no problem at all. Except that the Bugs in my Software since then are my Bugs and bot the ones of the language Vendor

What is ChatGPT integration in Xojo?
I ask because I am not informed about it.
thank you.

You do not understand me.

I will be clearer: I do not believe in AI (in 2023…).

So, talking about it is a waste of time. IMHO.

AI nowadays is just a parrot !

That is what I meant in clearer words.

I read a different bug report:

https://tracker.xojo.com/xojoinc/xojo/-/issues/73564

The guy does not gave the name of the db he used. Robin (the reader) have to guess…

Are your customers send you similar, dark / truncated questions too ?

Sorry Emile that I took your comment to spread out my Idea about it: the same you also have, waste of time for this tool now

ah its always closed things with tags like Information Required that dont get a response

thats not new

Xojo Inc is working on their Blog Articles. A bunch of new Android based articles is out now…

This one made me laugh:

History repeating? I’ve deleted their Feed in my RSS Reader…

Read it aloud with me:

‘Xojo abstracts you from the platform details allowing you to focus your time and energy on what makes your app unique.’

:laughing: :sweat_smile: :rofl: :joy: :smile:

Android is released! Hurraaaaaaa!

but…there is a small problem. Not for tablets. only for mobile phone. And only for small ones not for more modern ones. Man. Far away from usable. But it is what it is.

And only as a beta release.
This Blog post, inviting people to renew their license, omits this small but relevant fact. Bad deceptive marketing:

Why would (should) Xojo Android CARE what device its on?

Good Apps have a different lay out for bigger screens. A scaled up version of the same screen looks bad and waste lot of space.

But xojo dont have support for multiple layouts. They have the same problem with web.

and that is MY argument AGAINST Autolayout… my apps (Swift) run on any current/future iPad/iPhone without it… the app does all the layout via code (and yes it is AS fast as AL is)

Has nothing to do with that. Maybe your App runs on any device. But on Tablets I can have much more stuffs on one screen than I could ever have on a mobile phone. That said you may recognize that it has nothing to do with any auto layout or anything else. It has to do with the simple fact that complex screens can not even builded up with this Android Thing

well I will disagree… if the app determines the amount of “real estate” then it can easily layout one or more views based on those figures… I have one that does ALL current Apple devices, and not one line of AL (well except in the LaunchScreen where you have no choice)
