Does anyone have any thoughts on where Livecode server should go / is going?
I thought I'd throw out a few things that have been on my mind to see what other people are thinking and where the actual underlying technology is heading. Context - I use Livecode server and Revigniter - but not to the full ability and I'm looking to improve the way I host things and plan a strategy moving forwards. *Full power of Livecode?* My first question is what are the actual limits of what you can do on the server, as compared with the desktop version? I haven't pushed this to the limit so maybe yo have? For instance if I want to integrate Javascript / node.js code into my server, can I use the built in two way communication between Javascript and Livecode? This also leads on to the more general question about the headless Livecode environment of the server - are then any limits to script that does stuff like create a stack, add a browser element to the stack, set behaviors, communicate with the newly created stack (and hence Javascript, destroy the stack and return a result to the browser? I'll be testing this soon, but are there limits to this approach (apart form speed)? *Emscripten export?* How about using the exported javascript in the server? Could we have a node.js based server which server-side uses the big fat Livecode javascript engine, and exported Livecode HTML5 exported stacks as server side code? *Livecode Docker behind reverse proxy* This is sort of the default I would say in moving on from Nginx or Apache based hosting of Livecode server. Does anyone have any plans / experience of doing this? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
