Much less people are using SpiderBasic, PB is 27 years old, SB only 9 years old

Me too!
we just need more awareness of SB I guess, think PB had a larger userbase by 9 years.
Maybe the mobile aspect needs to be advertised a bit more, SB is branded as mostly for web apps, but the mobile aspect is one of the most exciting IMO.

I would love documentation that marries PB+webserver(windows and raspberryPI)+SB for a client-server demo.
Idle has made a very fine webserver.
The iOS and Android and raspberryPI build paths are also desirable.
Maybe a dedicated forum post for each?

A long time ago I wrote a tool that allows you to mark areas in SpiderBasic code that are executed on a web server:
SpiderBite. Maybe you will find it useful.

What I've always wondered is why the forums are completely separated. Two different products, but same company/developers. Seems like it'd be easier to maintain a single phpBB installation with separate categories/sections. It would boost the overall activity level and users would need only one account. Users could still restrict their search filter to just PB or just SB if they're looking for info on one in particular, but otherwise, there's enough crossover that results from one could be useful to a user of the other.

This is a very valid point, I posted a generic programming question, something that would've applied to both SB and PB, in the SB questions room. Posted the same thing on the PB forums and got way more responses. Which is expected, but not as good of an experience as it could be, at least for SB users.

+100 for a single forum.
