> 180M DEPLOYED APPS This is quite a claim... Edit: It's customary to include a disclaimer you work for the product your spruiking FYI.

  Not as much for a product that's been around since 2012 and has a history that dates back to 2007

    I guess your definition of 'app' is a lot more liberal than most other people's. iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile has a combined 7m apps on their respective stores. Do you work for Codename One? Your HN history seems to suggest you're quite 'involved' with it.
    - invalidname 9y ago
      Yes, I do.
- relyks 9y ago
  Maybe it refers to app downloads/installs? Wouldn't that count as deployed? :)
- Cyph0n 9y ago
  They must be counting every single test app as being "deployed".
  - invalidname 9y ago
    It's installed apps on devices == deployed. That's a reasonable number at those scales.
- invalidname 9y ago
  OK, I think it's pretty obvious from my comment history but fine...

    Do you go and look through the commenter's history for every comment you read?

>https://www.codenameone.com/gallery.html https://www.codenameone.com/gallery.html The Codename One app gallery says otherwise.
- invalidname 9y ago
  It's a partial gallery and keep in mind it's installed apps. There aren't 180M apps in existence so interpreting that number in that way wouldn't make sense...
  - andreashansen 9y ago
    Yet, the way it's written certainly makes it look as if that's the way to interpret it.

    My point was how bad they looked, not their quantity. If I was going to showcase my product I would select the best of the best. If that's the best this product has to offer then you should probably reconsider your statement that Codebase One runs circles around Dart/Flutter because from the look of the Dart/Flutter apps I've seen they're on another level. And if the look of the Codebase One apps weren't enough to make you turn and run the ridiculous pricing strategy of Codebase One would. Why would I pay a fee for unrestricted cross platform development when better alternatives that are free already exist.

Is Codename One in alpha version like Flutter?
