Hey all, I want to present you my new project, adacraft! Which is a slightly modified Scratch with new extensions. This project can be seen as a first step for me to gather user feedback and experiment things on "easier programming". Using Scratch gives a ready to use programming environment for "non-experts" and adding new extensions and modifying Scratch a bit allows to quickly experiment new use cases, new tools, new way to program. Of course at some point Scratch will be limiting, but I am sure there is enough room for fun experiments! So far, I have added some AI extensions and a Croquet extension. An AI extension that uses Teachable Machine models for image classification and an other for face recognition (based on ml5.js, more to come from this library). The Croquet one is very experimental but it is usable for very basic inter-project communication, and the main contribution (nearly all) comes from Yoshiki Ohshima, of the Croquet team. I have some ideas for new extensions (like, why not, generating HTML/DOM, and, why not, à la Vue.js) and would love to hear from you if you think of something to experiments with some Scratch "constraints". And of course any feedback and thoughts are very welcome! 🙏 ☺️

In reply to @Konrad Hinsen "White text in a small font on a yellow background in fancy shapes is not my idea of an ergonomic interface" and @ogadaki "I think one of the UX "regressions" from Scratch 2 with the new Scratch 3 design, is less readable block texts": The rule you want to disable (or set to black) is

.blocklyText { fill: #fff }

. You might want to disable it for

.blocklyDropdownText

, too, but you'll get gray instead of black because the dropdown seems to be covered by a dim transparent overlay. Still, making the text black is a big improvement already.
