    Pickcode is a new language and editor for getting kids started with coding. The code editing experience is totally structured, where you select choices from menus rather than typing. I made Pickcode after experiences teaching kids both block coding (Scratch, App Inventor) and Python. To me, block coding is too far removed from regular coding for kids to make the connection. Pickcode provides a much clearer transition path for students to Python/JS/Java. Our target market is middle/early high school kids, and that’s who we’ve tested the product with during development. On the…

    PickCode is designed for use on desktop and tablet, and supports creating chatbots, visual designs, and 2D games. There is plenty of functionality missing - you can't add media to games for instance, but the current version shows off the foundation of what I'm aiming at. I taught myself to code using MIT's App Inventor, so I have an enormous respect for block based languages like App Inventor, Scratch, Snap!, MakeCode, etc. PickCode is my attempt at adding options for students who want to learn more about programming without making the jump to text, or as an alternative to block coding for…

    Hi HN community, Over the last six months, we’ve been building FlyCode, a product editing DevTool. We make it easy for team members to edit product copy in web and native apps’ code through FlyCode’s dashboard with auto-generated PRs instead of using a code editor. From the beginning, we built around the belief that codebase ownership should stay with developers and that tools should flexibly coexist with a codebase rather than dictate infra changes. The key shift for us was to identify ways to include non-technical teams as individual contributors in the development process. At FlyCode,…
