i recommend an option to convert to / from text.
Maybe it’s true that younger children are better at understanding blocks than text, but i believe young children are able to learn how to program in text. Plus, your environment makes the relationship between text and blocks very easy to grasp. Once children do learn how to type their code instead of using blocks they’ll be able to code faster, and it will prepare them for real languages like Python.

Similar name with a ton of resources put into it (a YouTube channel with full tutorials <https://www.youtube.com/c/MicrosoftMakeCode/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/MicrosoftMakeCode/videos>, ability to use block-based or text-based editors, a Microsoft-sized budget, etc.)
