Alcinoe

At the heart of Alcinoe is a belief in empowering developers to create fast, modern, and seamless applications without the typical bottlenecks of complexity or performance limitations. We believe that development should be focused on innovation, not fighting against the constraints of your tools. Alcinoe is built with the philosophy that every developer deserves the best performance, the freedom to customize, and the power to deliver exceptional user experiences across platforms—all while maintaining independence from the dominance of GAFA (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon).

Alcinoe is fully compatible with Delphi Florence 13.0. If you find this library helpful, please consider giving it a star on GitHub. It’s free and greatly supports the project’s visibility and growth.

For upgrade notes and breaking changes, please refer to the ChangeLog.md. From time to time, we may rename units/types or adjust procedure/function signatures; the changelog is the authoritative place to see what changed between versions and what you may need to update in your code.
