Project Explorer

Project Explorer
A project.json viewer for Scratch projects
Check it out!

Project Explorer is a tool/utility/whateveryouwanttocallit that lets you view project.json info of projects.
This currently includes:

Seeing what operating system and Scratch version a project is made in
Sprite info
Block and comment counts, both total and per-sprite
Costume and sound viewing without downloading everything at once (the main purpose this project was made)

What's next? (maybe)

Fix bugs
More code info
2.0 support
Maybe more?

If you want to look at/contribute to this project's terribly messy code, go here.
See the link at the top to visit it, and have fun!

Amazing! Super cool

Help improve the Advanced Topics (Really!)
Before you create a topic:
Always search for duplicates or other similar topics before making an umbrella topic, e.g., “The Mac Topic”.

Is it about something you are planning on making but haven't made yet? If so, please wait to post until you have created a working prototype. This is a key factor to keeping the ATs as clean as possible.
The ATs aren't technical support. It is perfectly valid to ask questions about things related to programming, but not issues with external websites, apps, or devices. Most sites have their own support system; try asking there!
Is it related to something you are making in Scratch? (This includes OSes and other Scratch projects) If so, please post in Collaboration, Show and Tell, or another similar forum.
Is your topic questionably “advanced”? Try browsing the other forums to see if your topic fits better in one of those.
Issues with Scratch itself should be put in Bugs and Glitches.

Before you post: Is what you're posting likely to start an argument or derail the thread (e.g., browsers, operating systems)? If so, please re-think your post!

I tried it out a few minutes ago, it's really cool!

Here are some of my followers!

I joined: 5 years, 9 months, 24 days ago (31/03/2018)
I have: 479 followers
In total, I have attained: 1,403 loves, 1,145 favourites, and 33,731 views.
Fun Fact: If my account continued to gain followers at a similar rate to right now, in 14,210 years I would reach the number of followers griffpatch has today! Try to imagine how many followers he would have then!
Thank you everyone!

Vector text doesn't quite work:

Project Explorer:

Scratch:

Signatures are the only place where assets links still work.

Known issue. I don't know how to prevent this (unless I embed the SVG directly but that complicates things).

Full asset name added + view in fullscreen (read: gosoccerboy5's image viewer) button that is not showcased in screenshot.

I think the bug is because there's none of the fonts in the Scratch Paint editor in your website. I think you'd need to add TTFs of all the fonts, edited to use the name of the font that Scratch uses.

I already tried, and it failed. Try making a PR to CST1229/project-explorer if you can get it working.

Fun fact: That was one of the primary reasons this was created (because my PC couldn't handle getting fried by attempting to load your workspace).

Nice stuff - but can you use an input box instead of alert();?

April Fools' topics:

— New Buildings in Scratch's headquarters
— Give every Scratcher an M1 MacBook Air
— Scratch should let users edit other Scratchers' projects
— Make a statue for Jeffalo
— Scratch Tech Tips™
— Make a Chiroyce statue emoji

<img src=“x” onerror=“alert('XSS vulnerability discovered')”>

this is a test sentence

Maybe. It might be time to uncomment that project ID box now…

I like this, especially the ability to view and download images and sound. Do you think you could add the ability to download the .sb3?

Nothing here.

Seeing as all you need is the project.json (which it uses), the md5 hashes of the assets (which show when you download an asset, so it has those as well) and the assets themselves (which it also uses), it is technically possible.

Signatures are the only place where assets links still work.

Probably not, as that would require me to bundle a zipping library. You can already use something like the sb downloader (which supports sb2 and sb3, despite its name) for that.

I don't use them, I just stuff their URL into an img element which downloads them for me.

yeah. if you used svelte it would've been even easier (tho ive never used vue it might have a bind option too)
