Well it is not helping to have more people when the Management does not want to and also does not get that - possibly - there is the need to have stuffs like Compiler Guy and so on. But. You also need the incomes for it, the world needs to turn around. And that is not happened at the moment.
Can you say āarchivedā ?
Thats a very clear indication of their sentiment I think

As was recently mentioned to me its hard to see all the Xojo faces that are drifting away
This is probably the worst Iāve ever seen through ALL the years

I seem to remember a wave of people drifting away maybe 10-13 years ago. Maybe longer since time has no meaning since the pandemic. People like Charles, Tim Hare, and others drifted away and once they left you just never heard from them again. Iād say this is circa 2008/9 during the recession and people found new jobs, got bought out, etc.
This time seems bigger but probably because Iām part of the wave. I guess many of us here are in the same boat (pun intended given the picture above): former supporters that are barely using the product or have left entirely.

yup I left right after 2019r1.1 came out. and use it now only for one-offs that are throw aways, otherwise it is now 100% Swift for meā¦ Doubt Xojo can do anything to make me bother with them again

Guess I need to find the right forum for writing Java FX apps
And dart/flutter apps

Didnāt know you write JavaFX and Flutterā¦
JFX really just getting started but it could be an excellent option for the same project Dart/Flutter will work for
Using GluonMobile it does a good Job for Mobile. In fact I wrote both: JavaFX with Gluon and also CodenameOne Apps. As far as I can see it works and thatās it. Produces good Apps and runs. The nice part of JavaFX and also of CodenameOne is that you have your mobile app as a derivate also for Desktop. Both can spit out the same App as a Desktop App and IOS/Android app. Just use JPACKAGE to package the Installs for IOS, Windows and Linus. As far as I am using Github Actions it works with one Click for all Platforms. And the Apps are running on Desktop and Mobile without any limitation.
In one word: Degregation
