Hello friends, I’d love to kick off a discussion about web and hybrid projects—especially in the context of Harbour, FiveWin, or dBASE. Whether you’re just experimenting, deep in development, or already running something in production, your insights could help others (and maybe even spark some collaborations!). Where do you stand?
Who’s actively working on web/hybrid projects (as extensions to desktop apps or standalone solutions)? Who already has something live in production (internally or publicly)? What stack/tech are you using? Who’s just getting started and looking for guidance? What’s holding you back? Key questions for the exchange:
Technical hurdles: What surprised you? (Session management, caching, deployment, security, performance?) Infrastructure: How do you handle hosting, scaling, or backups? Any tools/services you’d recommend? Harbour integration: How do you bridge Harbour logic with web tech?
Lessons learned: What would you do differently today? (Architecture, database design, UI/UX?) Practical tips: Libraries, frameworks, or templates that saved you time? Data handling: How do you manage large datasets—especially if you’re used to direct file analysis or simple folder-based organization?
Why this matters: This is a chance for beginners and veterans to learn from each other. Maybe we can even solve common pain points together! Bonus for advanced users:
How do you handle offline capabilities in hybrid apps? Any experience with AI integration (e.g., automation, data analysis)? Your turn!
Got code snippets, war stories, or best practices to share? See a topic missing? Let me know—I’ll update the list! Looking forward to your experiences, opinions, and debates—let’s make this a useful thread for all of us. Best regards, Otto PS: If you’ve got questions I didn’t cover, drop them below. The goal is to build a go-to resource for the community.
