Thanks! And yeah, I think the timing really feels right for something like this in a way that wasn't the case even a year or so ago. In addition to the published apps on the discovery side of the platform, we've made a significant

Hi everyone, co-founder/lead dev here. We've been working on Koji for the past six months or so, inspired by the idea of democratizing the creation of interactive content (apps, "mini programs", whatever you want to call

I really appreciate your taking a look and writing all of that up. We're only a month or so into public beta, so a lot of things (mainly on that technical documentation side that you mentioned) are still missing. We've been heavil

This is awesome! I've been working on something similar with Koji [0], with the added twist of taking templates for full stack (web) apps and cloning remote dev environments + production deployment pipelines alongside the code. It&#x27

You can count me as another data point. I started taking coding seriously at around 11/12 years old, working on one of the big Runescape fansites, and very quickly lost interest in playing the game because I found coding to be more fun

Agreed. For a less reductive perspective, I've found Emily Feng's reporting for the FT to be informative [0,1,2]. I'd be interested in other reading recommendations, if anyone has them. [0] https://www.ft.com/

If you haven't, the 2008 Hugh Aplin translation is worth checking out. I found it made for a bit easier/more casual reading than the sometimes stuffy P/V, which lets the situational humor and the playfulness of the language c

Thanks for the heads up :) We leaned into a lot of location-based stuff in the early days (around the time of the Pokemon Go craze)--check these out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd6DjJ0GdBQ and https://www.yo

I think the sentiment implicit in your question—that the initial hype wave of AR has cooled off—is valid. I believe one of the biggest reasons we’ve yet to see AR truly succeed on mobile is that it’s prohibitively difficult it is to create

I think there is a balance to be found between "pinkifying" and "de-blueing" (to wrangle an inversion out of that word). Many of these early education coding platforms use "play" to introduce fundamentals and c

Another way to frame this, which might invalidate/color some of the linked article's points, is to consider "coding literacy" within the context of how the world is moving, and how coding and programming-related concepts

I think this is part of the new changes as well. I was dealing with a rejection a few days ago because of the new IPv6-only restriction and someone from App Store Review actually called me and we discussed and resolved the issue over the ph

I agree. I studied literature in college (coincidentally, my thesis was on Woolf), and am currently working in a technical role at a startup. I've found incredible value from studying the humanities, especially literature. Some of the

My thoughts as well. The author does a wonderfully subtle job exposing that strange naivete that seems so universal to the human experience. It's no surprise that he's a contributor to "This American Life," which I find

I'm a big fan of Ms. Orlean's. She wrote a wonderful profile piece called "The American Male at Age Ten"[0] that, for very good reason, tends to find its way into many undergrad lit/journalism survey courses. [0] h
