I'll be adding that in the next update - I have it nearly working in my testing version!

Currently there is no way for me to push updates for the code to PiBakery, but there is a way for me to push block updates. I guess I just don't want the 1500+ people that have downloaded PiBakery to have to redownload PiBakery to get

That would make sense, as Snap was based off Scratch, and Blockly (what I use) was also based off Scratch.

All the code is on GitHub, so feel free! http://github.com/davidferguson/pibakery

I did have a concept of this at one point - but I was concerned that internet speeds would prevent that from working as well as it could.

A block for setting a static IP is in the making - follow @PiBakery on twitter to find out when I push out that update! There is, however, a block for running custom commands (as root or pi user) so maybe you would be able to use that in th

Adding in your own image will (almost certainly) never be supported, but I am right now adding in Raspbian lite, as that seems to be a universally wanted feature. Follow @PiBakery on twitter for news on when I release it!

Originally I wanted to have "if" blocks and reporters for whether the Pi had a camera or not, whether it was connected to the internet, etc., but I decided fairly on that this would overcomplicate PiBakery considerably, and so I w

Sadly PiBakery uses a slightly customised version of Raspbian, so simply using the "standard" Raspberry Pi one wouldn't work. If you know how, you can make the customisations to Raspbian yourself - the changes I made are on t

Exactly, I start with the Raspbian Full image and slightly modify it to work with PiBakery. If you want to see exactly what I have changed, I have a GitHub repo of that as well - https://github.com/davidferguson/pibaker

Glad you like PiBakery - one of it's inspirations was actually for the Raspberry Pi club I run at school. Hopefully it'll make your life a bit easier!

You've actually almost exactly described how PiBakery works - except that PiBakery obviously can write the image as well. Once the image is written, PiBakery just writes some scripts into the /boot/PiBakery/ directory, w

Having support for Raspbian Lite is possibly the most requested feature right now (along with a block for static IP), and I'm working on that right now. Follow @PiBakery on twitter to get notified of when that update is released!

I'm currently waiting for my Apple and Windows code signing certificates, which will mean I can ditch the while "How to install" pages and just have the binaries install when you click on the big button on the main downloads

It's not a block I had previously considered, but any block can be added in! What exactly do you mean by encrypted pi? The entire SD encrypted, one partition encrypted, or something else? If you have a script that does something like t

Thanks, and yes, the whole ideas was to make it that anyone who's used Scratch (which covers a lot of the Pi community) would be able to instantly use PiBakery.

If anyone has any feedback on PiBakery, I'd love to hear it!
