RE: Public release v1.0

@tkaytraviskay-ca Easiest is to go with a normal, one year license. We are building up a lot of things now, with new features every month - so it will be an exciting journey. Right now we have QTX running natively on MacOS, Linux and Windows (x64) and MacOS + Linux for ARM. We got non-visual components in and the RTL is being adjusted for exposing underlying RTL classes as components. Oh and datamodules too :)

@tkaytraviskay-ca "If one starts as a subscription, your licensing implies you can no longer use your current version at the end of the subscription term"

No, you are free to use the product as much as you like. The subscription is for updates. So just like any other product the subscription ensures that you get updates and access to all new features that year :)

I am wondering which license option is right or recommended for me to purchase.

I've been waiting for the first release and can understand the price bump. I'm already carrying a bunch of commercial licensing costs for Pascal / Delphi where it's not being used to make money (yet, it's always a fallback plan).

I'm willing to get a license, because I want to see every ones efforts here, the technology and company be successful. Both the subscript and yearly one time purchase are billed annually.

Will there be changes in licensing and subscription costs anytime soon?

Will there be any discounts on future renewal - or full price as advertised year on year?

If one starts as a subscription, your licensing implies you can no longer use your current version at the end of the subscription term ... This doesn't make much sense, and there is no clear benefit of subscription, or yearly purchase year on year (other than you can continue using your frozen in time release). Which seems really weird since they're the same price yearly to start.

I love where Quartex is going for Web and Server based system on web native based technologies like node (bun or deno) .. but to move over to it from native code to replace existing investments is a long stretch for me. This is just some personal commentary from a interested developer.

Your licensing forces me to only go for a single year, and find out what ends up being delivered, and where you pricing and licensing ends up. And I really hope this last year of funding see's Quartex begin successful.

Have I misunderstood anything here?

Thank you.

We unfortunatly found some more issues, same root cause, when testing some more with the Turkish setup, but these are now fixed and the fixes will be part of the next release v1.0.1.3. We will release this version soon.

@mucahit-yagmurgmail-com you are absolutly right about the regional casing (uppercase lowercase) issue, we finally figured out the root cause and hopefully this should be permanently fixed in version 1.0.1.2, which was released yesterday. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.

is right-to-left (RTL) language Layout supported?

ahmed.atayib@gmail.com — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 09:34:15 +0000

i have just start to play with qtx and my first question is :
is your product support right to left layout or what is known in delphi by bidimode?
id delphi vcl it is supported but it is broken in some components like Treeview and in FMX not supported at all. this is the most important feature for right-to-left (RTL) language like Arabic, Hebrew, Persian (Farsi), and Urdu.

I personally chose a dark theme like Windows 10 Slate Gray.
Then jump into Editor Options via View > Preferences > Code Editor > Select your File Types you want to change. (Object Pascal) > Go down to Background > Set Background as Active Caption.
Good to go works well!

I had a similar problem as of tuday 11/1/2025 but on second startup it was fixed.

RE: Delphi to Quartex Pascal and local data considerations

Jon Lennart Aasenden — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 12:39:10 +0000

Web tech is by definition client-server based, however there are runtime models that deals exclusively with running a web app as a "real app".
Electron and Phonegap are post-processors that takes your html/js/css etc and bundles that as a real application. This removes the typical limitations for storing local data.

You can also do things even simpler, by just creating a shortcut that starts your html file in Chrome in kiosk mode. This too removes the typical limitations such as file-access. But direct file-access from the DOM is very annoying, with multiple nested callback mechanisms, so I would probably opt for something slightly more compartmentalized.

Personally i would have implemented a node.js "server" that you fire up when the user starts your "program", who in turn contains a html server - and then open a browser and point it to localhost on whatever port you decide to use. The experience for the user wont be much different than running a program. A simple bat script for windows, or bash script for linux.
This solution would be more scalable, as you can choose to put the server online if you want to, or run it locally.

A lot of python devs use the exact same approach. Most of the AI front-ends are coded in python which uses a webUI style approach (the UI happens in a browser window the python script creates) and all work happens via messages to the server it started before the UI.

Alternatively, isolate the above in a docker container, and fire up the container (where docker would be the only real dependency the user would have to download). Node etc would be a part of the docker image, and run isolated.

This is more or less the entire point of Ragnarok, the message system in QTX. Making it easier to send messages over websocket, udp or http (where a message is a command).

As for data: You dont specify what you mean by data. Are we talking about JSON files? Text files? or a SQLite database?
