Lifeboat Developer: Now Host Multiple Websites
2021-06-08 Filed in: Products
The latest version of Lifeboat has been released today, and it includes a significant change for users with a Developer license. I have decided that hosting multiple static websites no longer requires a Professional license. I hope to make hosting a website cheap and easy for everyone, so I wanted to lower the barrier to entry.
This decision is a reflection upon BKeeney Software websites closing up soon. I am saddened to see these resources fade into the internet archives. I want to encourage developers of all skill levels to build their cool thing, and show the world. Reach out if you have any questions or need any help setting up your little corner of the internet.
Best wishes to everyone, and happy coding! Read More…

Lifeboat Has Finally Launched!
The day has come. I am so very excited to announce that Lifeboat has finally launched!
Under development for the last year, Lifeboat is finally ready to help developers deploy Xojo Web applications. I built Lifeboat to help developers with all levels of need. I wanted it to be easy to use, but also have the features I need myself to serve multiple clients.
Public pre-release testing began in November, and to my surprise people were interested in supporting it financially even before it was completely ready! I am so very grateful to the early faith and for everyone's continued support. Together we've made over 1200 changes and personally logged more than 315 hours working on Lifeboat.
It's here. It's ready. It rocks. Read More…

Xojo Web: What to Do After You Click Build
2020-04-07 Filed in: Xojo
Deploying a standalone Xojo Web app for the first time may look unfamiliar or confusing. One might look at the built product and wonder where the files are. None of this ends in .asp, .cgi, or .php; and where is index.html?
I promise, this whole package makes things easier for developers. With a Xojo Web app, the built product is the web server. Once it’s running, the web app handles everything for us.
So how does a Xojo Web app get running? There are a few “easy button” solutions. One is, of course, Xojo Cloud the built in service. Additionally, there is at least one third party hosting service dedicated to Xojo Web apps. These tools can simplify deployment, but require that a developer relies on customer service when there’s a problem.
For mission critical applications, DIY-ers, and cost conscious developers the option to deploy to a Linux server might be a more appealing choice. Read More…
