There's something naive about all this, as if the entire metaphor is a somehow laudable, benign or 'natural' process tied up with Americans' origin story - but some omits the wholesale slaughter of indiginous people, the

You can do this with GQuery. It's really good (no affiliation). /* Uses: https://github.com/FCPS-TSSC/GQuery */ function exampleQuery1() { const gq = new GQuery(); const result = gq .from("T

One rainy afternoon, armed with Gemini AI, I wondered how far I could get "making" a web version of HyperCard. The HyperCOD(e) version is limited, but you can go next card, and run on idle commands. And it does colour! Don't

I was once at a coding conference (Prograph CPX now you ask) and there was a coding competition. Who could create a usable To Do List App in one hour. About six people took part. At the end of the hour, people demoed their creations. "

Yeah... one might use Sonic to load a csv and generate sounds based on your data, that might then be used as static assets in their app. I recently helped a tutor using BespokeSynth to create audio explainers, wiring together frequencies an

I came here to say the same thing exactly. Tufte books are very visual (and expensive - see if you can find a copy of any of his books, changed my life). You can just dip in. Norman is ace. Although his books turned me into a usability weir

Gdevelop might be described as a low code platform as it's language is visual (like Scratch on acid). It already has "Generate a game with AI" built in. It's not very good. What makes you think LLMs will get better? The

Hi, I've probably mentioned this a few times on here, but Prograph was a GREAT example of a visual language, that solved a LOT of issues (spaghetti code) etc. It's worth a look if you're interested in visual programming * obj

This really isn't crowing but we created a dynamic site that used HyperCard as a CGI and we did that in 1984. Not kidding. Mosaic'd up to the hilt. Still, it's a good idea. You can further this idea (especially when the slug

I was a HyperCarder too. I would say the answer is none of the below/above... GDevelop is an app for making games. Your son will love it. It has a very cute visual programming language, not too far from Scratch. I watched a few 10 minu

Came here to recommend GDevelop too. I taught my 10 year old GDevelop and she preferred it to p5js (Javascript programming) and it's a lot more powerful than Scratch coding. (but is visual too, like Scratch) Also, lots of good tutorial

The text is bloody almost invisible which is so bloody annoying. A blacker font? Or a better or bigger one perhaps? Or is it just the colour? The notes are not linked to the text either... (which may or may not be a good idea).

I'd say one reason. It's an absolute nightmare for the regular end user to handle relational data in a spreadsheet. I've tried a lot of those below (you missed of AppSheet from Google which kinda falls into this bracket too).

I'd say the question was "solved" by Prograph CPX in the 1990s, except the diagram WAS the code. https://www.google.com/search?q=Prograph+CPX&rlz=1C5CHFA_enG... You'd have high level classes, and low

I really like clipchamp.com and have used it with kids to make great short videos (you pay for longer/bigger), but it has been bought recently so may have changed since I last used it anger. Go take a look... it's great (I have no
