Xojo Web works for me

For example doing something like this took me less than 2 hours

it remainds me something I did.

As much as Xojo Web needs some improvements it still gets the job done for me.

It is good to se some bugs already planned to be fixed on 2022r1, but there are tons of bugs on basic functionality still there. I will stay in web 1 for now. (The app in the screen shot is just Xojo, no plugins.)

to be precise it’s not xojo for web that works for you but it’s xojo for web plus 3rd party addons as xojo web and the built ins keep having unresolved issues for years

I was satisfied with Web-1.0 because I was using it to build apps, not web sites. Keeping that in mind, I never ran into the load or session connection issues that were strong players behind Web-2.0.

My biggest nit with Web-2.0 is no built in style manager. I depend on Xojo to be RAD - with Web-2.0 requiring that I learn CSS, JS, and basic Bootstrap to style my app beyond basics takes that away from me.

Very nice looking UI!

Without Xojo Web the plugins would be meaningless

The future of Xojo Web is looking bright and I believe within the next couple years there will be no need for third party

Except that we designed Web 2 to be extendable by third party controls, whereas with web 1, it was an afterthought.

Good to know, thanks for the reply

Xojo Web 2.0 has improved considerably recently, but there will always be the need for third party additions. Improvements to Xojo Web going forward in the next couple of years will likely be fixes and maybe occasional new controls. There is nothing in the roadmap to suggest large Xojo Web feature improvements are planned. Worker classes for Web applications which were once on the roadmap to be done at a later date are still to be done, if they are still planned and haven’t been dropped.

thanks for the reply
I believe Xojo for web will improve considerably within the next year, Desktop also
But yes there will always be a place for third party to offer functionally and/or enhancement

+1.

While the styling of Web 1.0 is too dated for me to use on anything public-facing, the hurdles of 2.0 would require too much time for me to get into at the moment. I would speculate that most of us can do some simple CSS and Javascript, but a detailed GUI Style Manager for templates and elements in Web 2.0 would probably entice me to buy a license for Web and start using it.
