I appreciate the interest, but it doesn't seem using these tools would be possible for most folks.

Being able to run client and server code in the IDE would require using methods that are compatible with LC Script on the desktop. Since we have no way of parsing/executing LC Server code in the desktop, and too many people rely on the code-embedded-in-HTML way, my tools are of no use to them.

For the first dozen years of this engine, CGIs used the same engine as everything else. Since LC Server premiered, most devs now have a workflow that is incompatible with the desktop engine.

I've been using standalones for CGIs for many years, and while I know a few others who do this, there aren't many.

I recently came across a project which uses LC Server but only to launch script libraries, so effectively it's 99% compatible with LC Script, using only a couple lines of LC Server to launch the libraries. This got me wondering how many others do things like that, as opposed to relying on features specific to LC Server throughout their app which have no means of executing in the IDE.

At this point, it seems most people are using LC Server in ways that are not compatible with the desktop engine. I have nothing that can help with that.
