It's certainly much improved - but still feels under-developed, or
under-resourced. Certainly under-tested.
Five minutes playing shows up a variety of imperfections, ranging from
trivial to fairly serious.
All with 8.1.0 DP2, Macbook Pro, OSX 10.10.5
1. trivial
1a. Initial display shows : Sort by: A to
That should of course be "A to Z" but the button isn't wide enough.
1b. Title (or headline) of the stack is "Livecode 7"
2. Minor.
2a. In list mode, the display shows a scrolling list of 10 items, plus
on the right one larger one. This is often not upated when the
selection/search changes - so it is displaying a stack which is nothing
to do with the current selection or visible list.
2b. List of tags (I think that's what they are). They are completely
random - no organization, not sorted (even alphabetic would be some
help). And they appear to be any random tag someone entered; it's
helpful to look fr a tag like "library" or "utility" - but how much use
is it to tag something as "Awesome" or "0m3ga" ?
3. More serious.
3a. When there is no internet connection, this is very poorly indicated.
It's easy to miss the small text on the bottom line, so a search will
display (sometimes) some subset of (I think) the already cached stacks -
leading to a user believing it has done a search, and that there is no
matching stack - when in fact there is simply no internet connection,
and hence the search results are totally invalid. The indicator of no
connection should be MUCH more visible - and maybe even things like
search / filter should be disabled in that context.
3b. Display when no connection, and no cached items.
When in list mode, with nothing cached - the right hand (i.e. major)
item shows a blank, incomplete template for a stack display. Looks
really wrong. And the "download" button should be disabled (or
preferably not visible). Clicking on it send the IDE out to lunch -
windows and toolbar are unresponsive - though fortunately the menu bar
is OK, so it's easy to Quit and restart.
4. Worrying.
The "status" display says "431 stacks online" - but selecting "All /
All" says "showing 10 of 362 results".
Where are the other 71 ?
I'll submit these as bugs when I have time - but I don't yet feel
inspired enough to spend any longer on revOnline just yet ...

The revonline stacks *ARE* on github.

I wonder why Richard speaks of work-"load"
of the core team by revOnline?
Who did it last did it *very* good, runs stable.
The database handling is a well working script.
The display works well after updating preferences
(don't use the old one from before the "rebirth"
3 months ago).

How about they put the source on GitHub and then we can make it what we
want ... And the core team can get on with the real work
How about it Richard?
