I have tomorrow off, as do some of my regular co-conspirators.

I want to complete a project tomorrow. I have many open projects, but no clear leader on which one to work on.

I also have several planned projects that might be complete able in a day.

And, honestly, I'm totally down to try something wholly new.

So this is a project planning thread.

I could build a SSH based TUI for #dreadfulDocs and start working on the associated ARG style content.

I believe @djsundog might have some experiencewith ARG style content.

I could get the last open source version of Live Code running, and see if it still imports hypercard stacks without too much fiddling, and then set up a Hypercard -> android release pipeline that uses live code as an intermediary step.

Live code was open source for like 8 years.

It's a really neat project, but not enough people were paying for it so they closed up in 2019.

The last open source build is here: https://github.com/livecode/livecode

And an interview about why they went closed source is here: https://www.theregister.com/2021/09/06/livecode_interview/

@ajroach42

and future development will be closed source

this sort of statement drives me up a wall

their efforts might continue in an unfree direction

I totally take your point that the free project can be picked up again as such

I wish people like this journalist understood that though

@ajroach42 One day I want to build some kind of federated social medai platform that uses short audio clips for messages, where you can record the clips through the interface, designed for visually impaired and dyslexic people. I have none of the skills for this though and doubt it'll ever get done. Maybe someone else will pick it up or make something like it...
