Yo Mr libre can you open source app utils, i like the notifications.

It is? However, it is an internal extension, which means you can't use it outside of LIbreKitten without major changes.

That would be annoying for mobile users.

So? It is not mobile friendly

Scratch 3.0 was designed specifically to be mobile-friendly.

Why should LibreKitten not be, at least to some extent?

Bump. I've restructured the post and title so people can understand it better (and hopefully contribute). I am working on features still, don't worry.

You do know that it is almost a month ago. I disagree with myself now.

It's been a while. I have migrated LibreKitten to a monorepo (iit's not based on the Scratch one.) This should make development easier as I don't need to worry about the repositories seperately now.
I have also made a For Contributors page and I am working on a wiki to go along with it: https://librekitten.org/for-contributors.html

Also, control_switch and control_case work in the interpreter now (I forgot to complete control_default before I released the monorepo.)

There are more updates coming. Stay tuned!

Please help with satisfying our automated tests! To get started, please read https://librekitten.org/for-contributors.html. If you can, please contribute on Codeberg, as I am more likely to see it there.

The work is being done in the “tests” branch.

Random question: what is the point of server side execution?

more ideas:

(set [local v] storage directory [] store [])

It's so you can use LibreKitten as a web server. You can serve JSON. It's pretty early days for LibreKitten, and I'm planning to add some comfort features for easier development.

Yeah, it seems like a good way to introduce people who are familiar with Scratch to server-side programming, rather than just client-side.

I've messed around with it a little, but honestly I should probably spend more time with it.

Might I also request that (and if this already exists, please tell me) some security features be added to the read/write file blocks to prevent someone from accidentally deleting their file system by writing something to root (on a computer that doesn't automatically prevent that, of course), or a program from reading sensitive information from other apps (allowing people running the file to restrict the program to a certain folder only).

I have completed fixing the tests for the VM.

Hopefully I should start retroactively adding tests for LibreKitten features. I have already added some for the switch-related blocks.

I will be working on improving the server next.

It would be nice if you released the code on Github

It's on codeberg, similar to github

There is a GitHub mirror, but issues and pull requests sent there might be handled slower than on Codeberg.
