The "No coding / visual scripting" category seems to be a bit misguided, or perhaps misused. Maybe people think it's no coding as in not for programming, rather than no-code as in [string of expletives because I dislike this designation].

04/14/2021, 3:50 AMYes it could be curated. It has domain specific text based programming languages that have no formal visual component (inform, ink, choice script), Unity... which supports multiple visual scripting systems but by default does not encourage visual scripting, and a bunch of random art and music tools, which I guess fall into no coding but aren't what people expect in the category

04/14/2021, 3:57 AMIF engines where you mostly write a story like a screenplay or novel but are expected to add hypertext choices are interesting, because they are usually turing complete, but novice users might still see them are "not coding" because you can make IF without doing things that look like code... I wonder if there is value in that in other domains. HTML comes to mind, but I feel like in 2021 most novices/lay people think of HTML as "coding"
