Application Starter Stack for Livecode

10 Steps to Building Your Application

To succeed with the AppStarterStack, the key is to plan, in detail, what you intend to build.  You do not need to know each and every detail, but you must have a vision that is developed enough to answer the questions contained in the steps below.

  • What is the name of your Application?
  • What are the main features ?
  • What is its Logo
  • What are brand colors?

What are the distinct and different states your application can be in?
Each state can be distinct and show a different or similar user interface.

For example

  1. Just a single "Normal State"?
  2. Signed In / Not Signed In?
  3.  Administrator State?
  4. Paused State? Running State?
  5. Locked / Unlocked?

Are you saving user data locally?

Is it in files? a Database?

Or do you want to save to the cloud? (Basic Livecloud.io support and S3 Built in)

 

 

What input forms and controls does your application need to acquire the necessary information from the user?

Do you need distinct forms / tools to input information.  or do you need an "overlay" editor?

 

  1. Is it a Datagrid?
  2. Is it a "record" in a certain format?
  3. Is it a player?
  4. Is it a webpage in a web browser?
  5. Is it a long list of things?
  6. All of the above?

Each of these will likely belong in individual "cards" inside your stack file.

What Toggles, Checkmarks, Dropdown, settings do you need to give your user the desired experience?

Easily create settings as:

  • a Checkbox
  • a Toggle
  • an Input Field
  • a Multi_line Input Field
  • a Slider
  • a Drow-down Menu
  • Select Folder
  • Select File

There are 2 kinds, full height widgets or a more compact form.

This is the step where you or a livecode developer implement your applications's specific features and needs.

If you follow the conventions that the Application Starter Stack gives you, you will avoid mistakes, and your projects functionality.
