this would be great stuff indeed, but the restrictions you mention seem like a killer to me: you basically can't share any program that was written on this app.

this would be great stuff indeed, but the restrictions you mention seem like a killer to me: you basically can't share any program that was written on this app. so how can this ever be more than a toy?
- john2x 15y agoI think it's great if it remains just a "toy". Kids could use it to get started with programming. The previous generation had Amigas or whatever that was (sorry) they used to hack on. My generation had the early days of the web. This (and others like it) could be the next generation's hacking toy.
- moreorless 15y agoMy thoughts exactly. This is perfect to get little ones excited about coding.
- jonbro 15y agoI feel like you didn't read my comment. You can share by copying and pasting your code to a pastebin. Does that not apply?
- adabsurdo 15y agoyes, but you have to agree this is really awkward, beyond sharing with fellow hackers. most casual users would never go to the trouble just to try your app. my point was that the technology exists to make sharing apps easier, but apps like this are artificially crippled by apple's app store policies, because they want to control everything.
