Spotlight On: LX Aer
Spotlight On tells the stories of people using Xojo, sharing amazing Xojo-made apps and spreading awareness of community resources. If you have an app, a project or a person you want to see featured in Spotlight On, tell us about it! LX Aer is an AI-powered educational platform developed by student-turned-entrepreneur Leo Medvinsky. In 2020 as the pandemic forced schools to begin using remote learning tools, Leo, a student at the time, saw the gaps and the flaws in the tools he was offered and did what so many Xojo developers do, he decided to build something better. Can you tell us why Xojo was chosen as the backend and what other options were ruled out?
My first programming language was Visual Basic .NET. The original software I had was a simple quizzing application designed to help the user study for tests, but it could only run on Windows. This was a significant limitation ... so I decided to try Xojo. It was an amazing feeling to be able to write with the syntax I already knew and make an iOS app, albeit a limited one, the same day I downloaded Xojo...
What is a piece of software more people should know about?
To those in the Xojo community writing a web service, I cannot recommend Tim Parnell’s Lifeboat and Marco Bambini’s CubeSQL enough. To anyone working with cryptography, Björn Eiriksson’s Einhugur plugins are just incredible!
