Basically just a lot simpler. Replit has a million features (and AI ghostwriter) that in my experience are distracting for kids (I used to be a teacher and still tutor kids 1:1)
- RodgerTheGreat 2y agoIt really bums me out how Repl.it has evolved from its beginnings as a simple, free, accessible-anywhere programming scratchpad into a heinously complex cloud-persisted SaaS product. Have you considered offering a version of your product that doesn't persist anything- or perhaps persists snippets in URI parameters or localStorage- and which can be used without an account? It would meaningfully lower barriers to entry and adoption.
- csmeyer 2y agoIf you go to https://app.pickcode.io/lessons https://app.pickcode.io/lessons you can do some free Pickcode VL lessons without an account. Later this year we’ll probably add some Python or Javascript to that page too. URI storage would be neat!
