The social angle of sharing ones games with friends and getting likes etc. and the ability to quickly play it off a link are huge factors that keep motivation high for kids.
This is underappreciated. I've been teaching my son JS but his main gripe is that he doesn't have an easy way to share his stuff in a quickly playable format.
- szvsw 2y agoTime to teach him nextjs and get him deploying to vercel!! (Or at least set up a template for him!) Also, out of curiosity, have you been teaching him JS or TS? I feel like it is a sin to not use TS these days, but not sure if it makes it easier or harder for a new young programmer to learn.

- noufalibrahim 2y agoI'll check that out. I'm not really sure about a narrow js framework. They're so abstracted away from most of the skills that are transferable between languages and technologies that i don't think they're useful as teaching tools.
