SRC
Source-first ownership
Readable source remains the durable truth for windows, reports, dictionaries, classes, mappers, web components, help and project configuration.
Version 1 developer preview
Source-first RAD for developers who refuse to be locked out.
Safire is being built for experienced Windows and business-software developers who need forms, data, reports, services, web paths, packaging and source ownership - without hidden IDE metadata becoming the only truth.
Source-first. Business-data aware. Class-ready. Web-aware. AI-assisted, but reviewable and auditable.
Product demo
Watch Safire in action.
The front-page demo is embedded as a standard HTML5 MP4 player, so visitors can play, pause, scrub and view the product walkthrough directly on the website.
Current preview baseline
Safire now has a coherent source-first product spine.
The current developer-preview baseline connects the source-backed language, builder, IDE model, class/object runtime contracts, web model, project targets, help and signing plans into one direction.
RAD
Business RAD model
Data dictionary, browse/update, CRUD, reports, class/table mapping and generated runtime contracts are now part of the Safire preview baseline.
WEB
Web and services path
Safire has its own WAS service and Safire WAS Administrator, with source-backed web/app server declarations for static sites, Safire apps, PHP CGI, FastCGI, WebAssembly-style workloads and managed site operations.
IDE
IDE + AI integration
SafireIDE is being wired to source-backed project explorer nodes, class/config/web/help panels, validation dashboards and controlled AI proposals.
Current preview capabilities
What the current preview demonstrates.
This is still a developer preview, but the scope now looks like a serious source-first business application platform: familiar productivity with a durable, readable project model.
Native build/run contractProject build, run command generation, build_result.json and a command-line path that does not require hiding everything inside the IDE.
Source-first designersForms, reports, properties, move/resize, add/delete, source write-back and synchronization have been proven as source-backed workflow.
Data, CRUD and reportsDictionary/table model, browse/update generator, business CRUD, report bands, preview/print/PDF command tokens and source-backed report models.
Classes and mappersClass/interface/inheritance/event source model plus table row to class instance, class to JSON, form buffer and repository transfer contracts.
Business language objectsTimer, email client, FTP client/server, JSON, CSV, INI, certificate and code-signing objects with thread-safe runtime contracts.
Project targetsWindows desktop, Windows service, Linux service, web preview, web app, REST, SOAP, WebSocket, worker, report, installer and help-package targets.
Help system foundationNative Safire help, HTML, Markdown, CHM references and legacy HLP bridge registration for Help buttons and context calls.
Language/compiler/VM/IDE hooksGrammar registry, semantic model, diagnostics, target-aware artifact resolver, lifecycle and dispatch hooks, and IDE nodes/panels/actions.
