This is a really cool action.
I assume that this is where one would create comma-delimited links to database records in a possible to a one-to-many and many-to-many relationship with records.
An example, please.

  Appli Launched!

I am so happy to announce that we have launched Appli today. It has been an incredible journey to get to this point. It took us 1586 days, or 52 months or 4.3 years, to arrive to this day.

We started with an idea to make databases more accessible to people. Our process began with us developing a front-end to our existing LiveCloud back-end. We realized that we wanted to reach the largest possible audience. This meant we needed to create a new platform with a new IDE built from the ground up to make database apps in a way that makes sense to our experienced team. We hope you like it as much as we do.

Like most developers, we severely underestimated the complexity and workload we were about to undertake. It is good that we did not realize this, or it might not have seen the light of day. I am so glad our vision was bright enough to set us on our path. We were full of enthusiasm and determination to see our vision through. Today is a culminating moment.

All said we are still trekking onward. We are just getting started on the parts that matter most to our users. The foundation has been laid for a robust framework. We can expand from here with the knowledge that all new features can rely on our investment in Appli.

Community involvement and cross-pollination is the key to a successful platform. You are a critical part of the Appli community process. To make this work we are designing multiple ways to make this happen.

Now-
Low-code Actions
We created a framework for our actions. The code is documented in each action. They come with supporting APIs. Each action is a complete module that contains the dictionary entry, UI management in the code editor, and the job of the action. You can study all the current actions to see how they work. If you are interested in accessing the framework of our actions, let us know. We are releasing this access to a select few right now. We will eventually have a developer portal to support this.

Present your projects and, if applicable, a business plan.
This can be done in a short paragraph. What are you making, who will use your app, and what are your challenges? We will review your submission and reach out to you. During these early days, you can get more free access to us. We can quickly develop supporting actions to help you reach your goal. Everyone wins!

Recognition
We have seen some of your projects. You have inspired our team to work on the things that matter most to you. We want to write exposes about you and your product launches. We want to actively help grow our community and provide another voice to promote your hard work.


Future-
Marketplace
We want to create a community where you can make your work available for free or for a fee. Help others reach their goals by creating template apps. The best community is one that meets a variety of needs. We see a place where people match people up with developers and designers. This is a huge undertaking. So it will take time to flesh it out completely.  It is on our roadmap.


We are most thankful to have you in our community. If you have used a promo code to use Appli, we are happy to announce that your code has been extended well beyond the original 45 days. Some of you have enjoyed early access for more than two years. Your input deserves recognition as an extension to your free access. Please enjoy a bonus of 60 days. After which, we appreciate you moving to one of our available tiers to continue living the dream of quicker app development.

Best regards,
Mark Talluto
Founder and CEO

Hi - revisiting Appli to see how its coming along and hope to subscribe soon. It looks great by the way. I am running into a problem updating a record using submit_form_to_db. The form has the RecordID set via set_variable_from_context variable "selected" from a listings page, but the update never happens. What could it be that I'm missing?

Hello Appli Users,

In recent days, we've had a pretty significant bug occur in Appli's no code editor.
I just wanted to let you know that I am working on a fix to go out later on today.
My sincere apologies for any inconvenience or frustration that this may have caused.

Sincerely,

Tom

  Appli Release for 2022-10-26

Posted by: marktalluto

Another Wednesday release is in the can. Your IDE will auto-update with all the new goodies. Your phones and tablets have a pending update waiting for you to download. We now have proper iPad support. Make sure you get that specific build for your iPad if you have previously installed the iPhone version.

-WHAT'S NEW?
The last time we spoke, I told you we were going to focus on making a bunch of useful templates. And so we are. While doing this, we occasionally see a bug or missing feature we need to make our template. We file the bug or request in our system. They get prioritized and completed within a day or two. The templates are shaping up. We can't wait to release them and get your feedback.

I know we said we were locking our features down. But, we had to apply some energy to our database side of Appli. After all, we are trying to bring databases to the masses. How can we say we are doing that without providing a way to see your tables? In our data section, we now provide a way for you to access any of your tables with a simple-to-use viewer.

The data viewer has all the features of its older cousin in the LiveCloud Manager. It uses all the technology found in our table element. It is the first time we have brought something from Appli to the LiveCode side of our development. This saved us a lot of time because the table element has many features that we just happened to need in our data viewer. This new feature will solve the need to use LCM to verify that your data is working as expected. And, you can check your local and cloud data with a simple button click.

Every update comes with some nice improvements and bug fixes. This release will not disappoint. We already have two full days of development completed for next Wednesday's release. Three more days remain before we push another update. Until then, please enjoy this latest version.


-MEET THE TEAM
We received a lot of positive feedback about our meet-the-team write-up in the last edition. We thought it would be fun to talk about the rest of our team, one person at a time. Everyone in our small group is interesting. It is impossible to pick. So I will go in alphabetical order by their first name. In this edition, we will talk about Debra Nameth.

Debra has been with Canela longer than any other employee. Debra wears a lot of hats. She is our office manager and keeps the ship well-lubricated. This job alone takes full advantage of her organizational and people skills.

Wait, she is our front-line tech support for 2020 Vision and NurseNotes. Over the years, she has become an expert in helping others with various technical issues. Debra has a way of making the most frustrated person feel at ease. She is patient because most of the time, the solution was to change the batteries in their remote control. Sometimes she needs to work with IT in the education or business setting. Her expertise with Mac and Win operating systems helps the less initiated deal with challenging details she easily eats for breakfast.

Or is she the one customers rely on when ordering more 2020 Vision or NurseNotes systems? Those particular products and their sales decisions are very relational in nature. She writes, updates, and generally maintains all of the contracts. She helps first-time users install the software. She points them to our documentation. She keeps our large audiometer fleet calibrated by managing the sea of shipments back and forth. Should a customer need more hardware, Debra has you covered.

Sometimes customers need new computers with the software pre-installed. Debra does that too. If you call our company phone number, she answers the phone. If you email for support, chances are she will get a response to them before anyone does.

She manages invoices, purchase orders, shipping, and receiving. Debra is better than a Swiss Army knife. She not only does it all, but she also does it well.
Plus, Debra is usually the only one that gets my quirky pop culture references.

  Appli Release for 2022-10-13

Posted by: marktalluto

A few Appli Wednesday updates have gone by. I figured it was a good time to discuss our status.

-Appli Status
We are trying very hard to get our first release out the door. It will be a 0.9x release initially. We are almost feature-ready for the launch. We decided to add one more feature to the launch version. We are building some valuable templates.

New users to Appli will find the templates a great place to start. The templates are free to use for any purpose, including commercial. You can modify them, tear them apart to see how things can be done, change them completely to something else, and do what you want. There is nothing better than learning from working app examples.

-New Team Members
Over the last few months, we hired three new employees to our team. I will tell you a little about them. You probably know a couple of them already.

Kayla Hoang is a recent computer science graduate from UC Irvine in California. She comes to us with great enthusiasm to see Appli reach its goals. She has been a great addition to our team. She has added many new actions to the low-code options. Her keen eye for detail has prompted her to cherry-pick cleaning up the IDE. She has picked up LiveCode very quickly and is already taking on more complex aspects of Appli.

Tom Gold joined us a little after Kayla. He is a seasoned LiveCode developer whom I would suspect everyone already knows. He recently participated in the LiveCode Mega Bundle with the addition of the AppStarterStack.Tom came to us with a wide range of experience in LiveCode and other languages and development platforms. Tom's recent work in Appli includes improving the low-code editor with many new features we have come to love.

Andre Garzia requires no introduction to those that have used LiveCode for any amount of time. We had contracted Andre to write our documentation. He tells me that Appli gets updated so frequently that our screenshots and written docs need constant updating. Now, we can reveal that Andre works full-time for us. He is continuing to work on the documentation and taking on some new roles. Andre is building some of the Templates discussed above. He will also be our voice in broadcasting to the world via various social networks that Appli is ready to play.

We are so fortunate to have our new additions to the team. Because of them, we are going to get a whole lot more completed very quickly.

-Free Swag!
If you have posted in the Appli forums or provided some bug reports, we will send you an Appli t-shirt. If you do not hear from us asking for your shipping address, please ping us at hello@appli.io.

Until we do our big release, you are free to use Appli for free using the promo code:  45DAYAPPLI
Have a great weekend, and we look forward to our following updates with you.
