Blog about the Xojo programming language and IDE
We’re starting a new thing! At the end of each month we’ll round up a few of our favorite things – from blog posts, announcements, technology, science and whatever other stuff the Xojo team thinks was noteworthy and I’ll post it. It’s the new Xojo Monthly Round Up!
Comments closedRecently, a new syndication format was introduced by Brent Simmons and Manton Reece called JSON Feed. It is an alternative to RSS/Atom to get feeds for blog posts and podcasts. RSS/Atom are XML-based making them complex to work with. As its name implies JSON Feed uses JSON and is much simpler. I’ve shown in previous posts how easy it is to make a web and iOS apps with Xojo to display the feed.
In this post, I’ll show you how to create a Xojo desktop app to display the JSON feed for Daring Fireball in less than 20 lines of code. This app works without changes on macOS, Windows and Linux.

In fact, it is so simple that you can easily make web, desktop and iOS apps with Xojo to display the feed. In this post, I’ll show you how to create a Xojo web app to display the JSON feed for Daring Fireball in less than 20 lines of code.
Comments closedWant a quick and easy way to send notifications to your devices (iOS, Android and web browsers) from Xojo desktop and web apps? Perhaps you want to send a notification if a purchase is made, an error occurs or a long process has finished. If so, the free Pushover web service might be what you need!
Comments closedIf you work in the technologiy industry, I’m sure you’ve heard of the Daily WTF site. Their fun stories about technology gone wrong makes it one of my favorite web sites.
Comments closedThe first classes in the new Xojo Framework have been available for all project types since Xojo 2015 Release 2. Here are some of my favorite features.
Comments closedI’ve been working with JSON in the new Xojo framework quite a bit lately and wanted the ability to format the JSON text so it is more readable.
A little Internet research turned up a set of classes for .NET (in C#) that can do this. I took a few minutes to port these three classes over to a single Xojo class that can format JSON for you.
