I've been wondering the same thing. I feel like there could be a more exclusively visual programming paradigm.

I wish there was a better way to program on mobile, because typing just doesn't feel good. Maybe a visual way to program could bridge that gap.

I also feel that kids would love to be able to create their own install-able apps with something like Scratch. Maybe could be done with something like PWAs?

Quick plug for my node red port to android (and can do ios) https://github.com/alexisread/noreml

It's missing a table component really for UI programming, but can support visually programming apps on mobile devices :)

There are a few ways to create actual apps/exes, but none are actively supported or very good.

The new version of Scratch does work on mobile, but it needs to be optimized.
