Lively Web is browser-based runtime and development environment that makes creation of (Web) applications much more immediate and direct. All development happens "live", i.e. you change your application and the system while it is running. This is not only more fun than tedious compile/test/reload workflows but also much faster.
- See Dan Ingall's talk from JS Conf '12 for a first impression.
- To get started, dive into the interactive Lively-101 world.
- To get your own online workspace follow the "How To" instructions here.
To use Lively you do not have to install anything. The Lively Web environment is an online wiki and development platform that can be used by everyone who wants to experiment and develop with Lively.
If you want to run your own Lively Web server or contribute to the core development follow the steps below.
