Studios in Scratch are made first and foremost as hubs for projects. You can see in the reply limit for studios that studios being used as communities and mainly through comments is only an afterthought.

However, this also means that if you are a part of multiple such studios, you can have problems where you may miss certain comments just because you forgot to check the studio.

So, I made Commenstudio - it's a site that allows you to enter some studio IDs, and be shown all the studio comments you want at once. You can also mark comments as read, to provide a good view of what you've read and what not.

Try it out at https://mybearworld.github.io/commenstudio/.

I hope you find it helpful!

It works well, and it loads faster than Scratch! (The name sounds the political party that rivaled the US in the Cold War) However, if a studio doesn't exist, it just shows the results for the last studio that was typed. Perhaps you could add an error screen?

Oh, that's not great, thanks… I'll try coming up with a different name

Good idea, I'll implement that.

Wow nice! But the name is Communistudio. I don't think it requires a name change though.

Edit: Sorry looks like I forgot to put the rest of my post in here, I also wanted to add that there should be an indicator to see which studio a post is coming from, maybe colour codes or something

Yep, I've just changed the name. That was certainly dumb of me.

Color coding is a great idea! I'll add that.

I've implemented these.

Update: It now just shows the name of the studio instead of requiring you to set a color:

Cool! Maybe you could pin comments so important ones don't get drowned out?

Thanks! So a feature where you could say “I don't have time to act on this comment right now, but I want to do so later”? That seems helpful.

Yes, it's a very basic feature that Scratch itself should have really.

Alright! You can now pin comments!

Awesome. A few more features could be pin reasons, list of your pins, and only show pins. Anyways this is still a good addition!

pin reasons,

I'll add that.

Could you elaborate? You'll always get your pins right at the top of the page.

List of pins would be all the pins you have ever made across all studios and only show pins would only show pins and hide the other comments.

That's already how it works.

But what's the point if the pins are already all sorted at the top in one place?

Oh yeah that doesn't make sense.

Pinning just …pins comments to the top of the page. Did you mean something different?

Yes I meant that when you pin comments from a studio they would show up at the top of the studio page.

My new suggestion was to have a page which would show pins from all studios.

Wouldn't that be more of a thing that Scratch would implement? Commenstudio doesn't really have studio pages.
