oh boy. preview was something I’d tried to implement. said implementation failed (as can be seen by 3.12. I’m wondering whether or not I should release a patch, like 3.12.1 or smth to remove that preview button) and said implementation was also very, very flawed (it tried to save and then open in a web browser a file saved on C:\ with the date and time of the preview, like an automated version of File > Save and then opening the file). as for the local serveur idea, I like it somewhat (like that plugin for VSC) but you can blame my programming knowledge (or lack thereof) for not having it as a feature.

It's ok. You can maybe try it out later. The idea sounds cool!

I mean it won’t be web server for sure. but ye I’m looking for some other suggestions b I kinda ran out of ideas.

okk np! Ok one crazy idea. Add a random idle game in the ide. Nothing fancy. Just a little counter that goes up. Maybe hide it in the tabs. Kinda like, 100 bugs killed. 200 bugs killed. This number will increase automatically. You can use those bugs for "buying" different themes. No real money just some fun stuff. Maybe add new themes or features that need to be unlocked by how much time you spend on the IDE. It's a bad idea ik.

nah, I’d like the themes to all be availiable from the beginning. also hide it in what tabs ? I don’t really like the point of having to “buy” stuff using time-based currency in a tool that’s meant to help people.

It's fine! I was just sharing the weird idea that I had. By the tabs I mean like, on the about page, maybe add a little button that launches the game. Something like that

nah, don’t beat yourself up over it. it’s fine. I don’t really think about page would be a good place for it if I were to add it. what do you think about me porting this over to C++? (that might allow me to make an actual IDE!)

Sounds really cool! Pls tell me if it works! Sorry for the late reply!

I’ve given up on a win32 port (go to hell win32 API…) it’s really difficult to maintain.

Yeah no probs lol most people don't even use win32 anymore so not worth it honestly.
