Announcing Xojo Library Studio LS is the one tool every Xojo Library developer needs in their toolbox! This application takes total control of the IDE to build as many Library projects as you wish for whatever target architectures you wish, then combines their resulting xojo_library files, customizes metadata, and performs build actions before or after each stage. graffitisuite.com/features/xojo-… #xojo #indiedev

@xojo I just integrated Caddy into my Arcade system to allow deployment of a zip file to hundreds of IoT boards to update them. It works great!

Xojo makes building powerful web apps fast. Now, make deploying them even faster. 🚀 With the Caddy reverse proxy, your Xojo apps get enterprise-grade features out of the box: ✅ Automatic HTTPS for all your Xojo web projects. ✅ Native Load Balancing to scale Xojo instances horizontally. ✅ High Efficiency – save up to 40% on server resources. Focus on building your app’s logic in Xojo and let Caddy handle the infrastructure. See how: blog.xojo.com/2025/08/04/dep… #Xojo #WebDev #Coding #FullStack #SoftwareDevelopment

PDFDocument is now on Android. Generate PDFs, forms, attach files, from your Xojo built mobile app. 2025r3. documentation.xojo.com/resources/rele… #Xojo #MobileApps

Just tested a #Xojo server app in the field that listens on a TCP port for a connection from a circuit board and generates a UUID and registers it into a MariaDB. The server app worked flawlessly the first try registering almost 200 circuit boards turned on at the same time. 🤯

@xojo you guys dropped this one on my bd when I wasn't paying attention!

New @xojo release 2025r3.1 out now! forum.xojo.com/t/xojo-2025r3-…

As part of the move to Xojo Libraries, I've been working on my delivery pipeline. Part of that is the need to build all of my plugin parts for each target platform. So what did I do? I wrote an app in @Xojo! This little app allows me to create individual projects that contain the build steps needed for each of my library parts. I can add as many Xojo projects as I need and select for which targets to build that project. The app automates the IDE's loading and building processes then wraps all of the results in a single xojo_library. I'm not sure if I'm going to make this available to the public yet. It works for my needs and I'm not too keen on supporting the IDE automation as it can be, at times, quite fragile. Anyway, just a cool little utility I built to help me work. #indiedev

@xojo Very cool!

Biometrics in Xojo mobile: zero low-level code. UserAuthentication.SensorType tells you Fingerprint or Face. Request(reason, includePasscode=True) prompts OS UI. Handle success/error events. From idea to secure binary fast. documentation.xojo.com/api/mobile/use… #Xojo #iOSDev #AndroidDev #Security

@xojo I wrote in Java exclusively for a few years and when I started using RealStudio I never looked back.

What was the specific project or "breaking point" in another language that finally made you stick with Xojo? I’d love to hear the origin stories. P.S.: xojo.com/resources/whyx…

@xojo Var dt As DateTime = DateTime . Now

@xojo NICE! 🔥😎

@raximusstudios our Windows engineer had a response to this comment

These @xojo #XAML controls are 🔥

@xojo Thank you so much for this!

@raximusstudios Great to hear that, thanks!

I needed a better color dialog for my kiosk app that I could reliably keep on top of the main window. I made this custom color dialog control today in @xojo in less than 30 minutes. You can't do that in anything else.

@gvnsmth @graffitisuite Will be watching that! Thanks!

@raximusstudios @graffitisuite I actually have! Love all that stuff. My peak retro fix comes from PBS’s Triumph of the Nerds, 3 episodes, brilliant. Gary Kildall is on there too, from memory.

@graffitisuite @gvnsmth Have you guys every watched the Computer Chronicles episodes on youtube? Absolutely love those I just started watching them! Crazy to see Gary Kildall on there! I swear they used Gary as the idea for the Byers character on the X-Files.

Vibe coding, done right, is: 25% Writing your careful prompt 25% Watching it generate code 50% Fixing the code it generated If you're not an actual developer, that last half is a lot harder, and it's where slop begins.

@graffitisuite I have several DC instances that I have been using for a couple years now. No major issues so far. Happy New Year.

@raximusstudios I've used DH for I don't know how many years now. Lately, though, my VPS with them had been flaky. Considering moving everything out if the next couple of months have the same amount of random downtime as the last six.

After almost two decades with GoDaddy, I'm finally moved entirely away. The constantly rising renewal prices, annoying administration interface that pushes products people don't want or need but is constantly trying to mislead to sign up for them, and all around poor support drove me away. GoDaddy has gone the way of Network Solutions, which used to be great but spiraled down this same path. One domain name that would be desirable to almost nobody but me (literally my name .COM) was going to be $52.02 for a one year renewal. Moved to my new registrar for $10.00. The last domain just transferred out and I'm not looking back.

Merry Christmas to all my @xojo friends! I hope everyone has a wonderful week and a better New Year!

@graffitisuite That was exactly why I moved all mine to Dreamhost because all of my apps use the cloud instances on DreamCompute.

@raximusstudios I have a few domains with DH, but I'll probably be moving those this year to get everything under the same roof.
