Xojo Hmmmm 🤔

. Has anyone successfully utilized the web list box for anything beyond a basic list?

oh many years ago (with web1.0) I used weblistboxes for displaying reservations in an calendar-style weekly overview for reservations of time slots.

Worked pretty good because the webapp was only used by a limited number of users (never more than 10 concurrent).

Wow. Xojo is having a huge 14% off sale. Muahahahahaha. Can’t make this stuff up.

-14% in bug count would be better.

Marketing does what marketing does to get eyeballs to the site to try and sell a few licenses. I don’t hold that against them. It is Pi day (3.14) after all.

Yes, and we have some customers, which turned off auto renew months ago.

So for those that still use Xojo, have an older version in use and need a current one, this may be a welcome offer to grab a current license at a discount.

The should have gone fill circle and did a 2π (28%) sale! :wink:

Still using 2019 for windows and 2018 for web.

For web, I’m waiting for Web 2 to not fell like a pre alpha product (and for control arrays)

For desktop, the same, Api2 controls have a lot of bugs, dark theme is still a half baked…

They dont offer a lot of reasons to “grab a current license”

I just hope they have a decent release before introducing another stupid change :expressionless:

At most I would, at the end of my first year (soon I believe) get a one-platform desktop license for Windows but even that I would probably put off unless there was some sort of bug or inability of the last version I downloaded (probably 2023 v1) to run on a new version of Windows or some such, AND which they had actually fixed (a couple of big IFs). Later I might switch to macOS to re-backport the app there if I end up actually needing it for my own projects. Or in other words the minimum needed to keep a single internal-use app going. I do not see any good business reason to keep developing in Xojo, nor even really a good personal reason, given the number of unresolved bugs and evidence of embedded abandonware within the platform, the lack of a credible path forward in mobile or web, etc.

… and reward xojo for what exactly?

For making a new version, which is so amazing, that you want to buy it?

if you don’t like it, you won’t buy it.

I guess this train went off before years. look what happened to too many Customers. I do not believe that you’ll get back the Customers which changed to another System. And the strategy of Xojo is: getting new Users. So what? Xojo will exist and further be available. Until when? Nobody knows.

More bugs at a discount and Xojo Inc is adequately staffed. I won’t renew until they change course.

Exactly. Not worth any discount when you have to spend a crap ton of time to find and then work around Xojo bugs.

Or enjoying the great software quality thanks to Xojo unit testing:

buy 2 bugs, get 4 for free.

Spoiler alert: XDC 2023 slide preview: 2022 in a nutshell.

GP asking: did you finish your task?

Nice. Karma in action.

Geoff Perlman is starting to see the results of ditching Pro Devs. Less Pros = less testing = more bugs. Worse and worse as time goes on. Just imagine what a mess Android is likely to be…

Yes, only new users are using the latest release, if any are left. Fascinating that none of their automatised tests @ Xojo picked this one up :slight_smile:

‘Do it right or don’t do it at all’ - really?

Xojo Bot is busy archiving bug reports. Has no time for testing.
