Usually, I don't speak about (or advertise) AROS software here, but this time I wish to do an exception. AROS needs software and programs to create software, and what might be better than a IDE and a language that let you write your application once, and compile it for AROS, AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, WarpOS, MorphOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS? So, if you're interested, have a look to Airsoft Softwair's Hollywood Designer 5.0, a wonderful multimedia authoring system for Hollywood 8.0 (you need both). Here's the press release:

Hollywood
Designer is no longer limited to "just" being an authoring software, it
can now also be used as a flexible graphics editor because it
supports many features of modern graphics editors like multiple layers
with over 30 filter effects, vector graphics, image import, and text.
Having been in development for almost 20 years, Hollywood Designer 5.0 is a very stable and mature multimedia authoring system. We would like to emphasize that it is not only suited for personal use, but also for professional commercial customers. Ferrule Media,
for instance, have created an info channel containing over 2000 (!)
unique slides in a single project with Hollywood Designer. Hollywood
Designer was designed to handle these huge projects efficiently so that they can run 24 hours a day and 7 days a week without any visible memory fragmentation! Ferrule Media's info channel, created with Hollywood Designer, is running in dental clinics all over Norway.
