Is this related to classroom.io ?
sgorawski · a year ago
There's nothing under that address right now, what do you mean? (Unfortunately I don't own it, if you ask.)

You need to sort the domain/TLD confusion. Your brand name ends with "io" (.io being popular in programming websites) and highlighted in yellow in your logo. Your website is .site and your email is .app. I also think just reading the name that it's a classroom CMS, and not programming related.

PS: it's a shame because the idea is excellent and the presentation looks good but yeah naming is hard...

Thanks for the feedback! (And the kind words :). Yeah, I'll rename it soon, trying to get a better domain now.

I would guess that you're using Wasm for this. If it's not a secret, can I ask which Wasm libs you're using?
sgorawski · a year ago
Hey, I'm not, the code is sent to the server for execution.

I'm afraid can't help with the libs then ;)

I'd like to have more functionality in-browser, though, like an LSP running as a worker in the background. Do you have any materials that I could read about it or something like that?

Hey Sławomir, great work! Do you think it can be somehow adjusted to the youngest kids that are not ready for Python, but would like to code anyway?

Powodzenia, trzymam kciuki za Ciebie i Twoją platformę!

Thanks! And nice touch :)

As for the questions – I haven't thought much about that, but maybe it would be nice to have. Do you have some ideas on what that simpler than Python could should be? Like e.g. Scratch, or something else?

Looks incredibly cool. I'm building a similar project, and I know how much work it is to put something like this together.

Thanks for the kind words :)

What does this do that http://REPL.IT or Jupyter Notebooks do not do?
sgorawski · a year ago
Replit is similar, this product is like it but tailored specifically for educational purposes.

As for Jupyter Notebooks – ClassroomIO allows you to create an assignment and have a group of students work on it simultaneously without interfering with one another. (Maybe you can do this somehow in Jupyter, but I don't know how.) Also, it supports more languages and the flow is more like a regular console app.

I really like the idea and the site too. Do you plan to increase the price in the future?
sgorawski · a year ago
Thanks! Yeah, currently it's an open beta, but in the future I plan to have paid plans, mostly institutional ones I think

Nice one, congrats! Is this something like CodeSandbox or more like a LeetCode platform where you solve problems, get feedback and so on?

P.S: I just created an account today on classromio.com, which has a different purpose, but it's weird that I came across 2 different apps with the same name in the same day.

sgorawski · a year ago
Thanks! It's more like CodeSandbox, but tailored specifically for educational purposes.

As for the other project, yeah, thanks for letting me know about it. Didn't know about that one, it must have launched recently as well.
