I like it! I fiddled around for a couple minutes. The UI is surprisingly non-buggy. I like how the code editor treats lines as draggable widgets, and I like the limited syntax selection. Props for focusing on school licenses and making individual accounts free. Just a couple thoughts: - maybe use horizontal editor splits by default when the screen aspect ratio is less than 1 (ie. for vertical mobile screens) - shouldn't `math` be treated like other namespaces in the `call` menu? Eg. formatted with ellipses like `math...`, and offering a menu of functions right after being selected? - any plans to make more detailed/friendly error messages? Eg. "Type error, invalid function call" feels a bit useless for a beginner - any real-world examples of programs that kids have written? - any plans to convert seamlessly between Pickcode's language, Python, and JS? Essentially being different views of the same program, for when the kid is ready to try another language. And a bit unrelated, but any thoughts on Mark Rober's take on code editors? https://youtu.be/1j1kAuqePJo?si=6GtQPVgsFgUtGPw-&t=1109
Obviously not as fleshed out or beginner-friendly as yours, but I think the tiered approach is interesting. |
