    i had to make a debug interface for keeping track of the stored values. realbasic has no collection inspection in version 5.5.5. i tried to mimic the macOSX finder's column view. will have to thread the browser windows, so the lists of data can update dynamically. any thoughts?

    68k NilApp: Classic Mac Application Engine

    I "borrow" ideas from many systems. Apple often comes up with interesting solutions, but they are Apple solutions, meaning they don't translate to other systems easily. eg. it's almost impossible to do something like an app bundle(opening an app by opening a "folder") on windows. No, but as...

    Thanks, Patrick, for your interest and patience. I probably sound contradictive, but that is definitely not my intention. Apologies due, where needed. Yep, that's what I'm thinking, too. Depends on your definition of "human readable". HexEdit was just an example of a program which can read and...

    The application is now threaded. This allows dynamically updating the user interface. eg. A menu title or window name can display the time. Menu actions now work. Selecting "Quit" now quits the app, selecting "About..." now opens the about window. Windows can now be created, though I can't...

    It's an Object Notation, so not specifically human readable, but serialised data. JSON would limit the editors or binary? Not really. I don't care if the int is a int32, int64, uint32, uint64, etc. Not particularly. I'm designing it using generic interfaces, so a data store can be anything...

    I'm currently designing how data could be stored on disk. The idea is that users will be able to view the data structure using the Finder and create/modify values using their preferred editors. I have a few concepts, i'll try to illustrate. Any contributions are welcomed. 1. JSON This idea is...
