Scratch Tutorials — share your knowledge or learn something new with Scratchers worldwide

NFlex23

I know what you're thinking: "Another Scratch tutorial sharing website?“ Well, I know some have been planned and discussed, but none have really got off the ground and are actually used. This is the first ”real" tutorial sharing website for the Scratch community, where you can actually create and share your own tutorials, or just follow others'.

You can view the site at https://scratchtutorials.vercel.app . A better domain might be chosen in the future, but it works for now. Contributions are welcome at https://github.com/mystpi/scratch-tutorials .

Tech stack:

Next.js — https://nextjs.org
Mantine UI — https://mantine.dev
Supabase — https://supabase.org
Vercel — https://vercel.com

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.

SvelteKit actually has no noticeable difference in speed, both compile time or page load.

Anyway, as with all projects I will recommend some changes.

- Equal card sizes. For more consistent and less OCD inducing UI, make all the cards the same size. Maybe have a button to view the full card too!
- Since you are using supabase, I'm assuming you can add some profiles and a way to submit tutorials

I wanted to learn Next.js, and I decided to give it a try with this site. I'm not going to switch to SvelteKit, sorry.

I'll look into making the cards equal sizes. And yes, you can submit your own tutorials. (please read the OP more carefully before posting)

Do they have to be related to Scratch? Maybe an offtopic section. or an “Advanced” section.

It is "Scratch Tutorials" after all; but feel free to make a tutorial as long as it is related to Scratch. I'll add that to the guidelines (https://scratchtutorials.vercel.app/guidelines ).

Equal-height cards are now live, thanks to the feedback of MagicCrayon9342:

Cool Website! Does this support scratchblocks?

When I load the site there is a flash where there is no CSS. Also, is there a filter? Another question I have is the moderation, will there be a ban on extension names?

It‘s so easy to copy a website born 3 months before…

And if I can, I saw several problems:
- The Ui could be uncomfortable for New Scratchers (the principal part of the Scratch community who needs tutorials)
- Anyone (like a hacker or something like this) who has a Scratch account can post everything at anytime. You know the consequences if someone bad posts something on your website
- 404: I haven't found any other problem.

I didn't copy any website.

How so? Could you give me an example?

I can moderate (delete/edit) tutorials currently, and I'll add more advanced moderation soon so others can be mods as well.

Interesting… it doesn't seem to work very well though. When I try to click on a tutorial it takes me back to the home page without any styling.

Unfortunately, not yet. I've been having trouble integrating them with markdown and React.

I will implement more safety features soon, like banning and moderation. Until then, don't post anything against the guidelines, since I can still remove it pretty easily.

Yeah, I know. I think it's a Mantine UI issue.

I hope to add tags and filtering eventually.

What do you mean by “extension names”?

Ah, I see. Yes, anything that goes against Scratch's CGs is not allowed.

Some kind of form or format to use for Mod applications? Or do you just, ask? I am, very stupid. I should of reread the post.
