The oldest shared project on scratch is scratch.mit.edu/projects/104. I think it would be cool to see the first ever scratch project shared. (I know it is probably a blank project but it would be amazing to see anyway)

Projects 1-103 were test projects

They weren't uploaded probably because later versions of Scratch couldn't run it

Project ID 1 is not actually the oldest project; it has been overwritten several times for testing purposes.

i've been looking through old project's thumbnails. i've determined that the oldest looking ones are 40, 74, 104, 105. however, nobody except the st can figure out the answer, due to the project api being hidden for unshared projects in an update a while ago.

and yes, 74 looks…..interesting

edit: 1000 looks the oldest now lol

1 (at the time of 3.0 atleast) was a test with a certain map extension or whatever with Scratch Cat asking for your exact location to determine the closest ice cream shop
Atleast if I remember correctly since the project token update prevents from seeing unshared projects (for good reason)

You can still view the project thumbnail at max, however you can't say how its done due to uploads & get image being the method

This appears to be an archive of the first ever project, but is actually not because it’s a vector Scratch Cat gliding in Colourful City.

Are you sure? I thought that was Project ID 2 or something.

Indeed, this is what Project ID 1 looked like at one point. Before it was this, it was set to a copy of this project. Before that, however, I don't know what Project ID 1 originally was.

here, 1.0 project /1/

That was project ID 10 - the most recent copy of project ID 1 was a project with the “colourful city” background where Scratch Cat glided for 1 second to a random position - it was a test project by former Scratch Team member @wheelsonfire

Oh whoops - I always get those two mixed up…

Not the oldest project.
Weekend
The oldest project that still exists to this day is Weekend, which is posted by former scratch employee andresmh in March 5, 2007 but it mistook it for December 21, 2023. On scratch 3.0, all of the sounds are corrupted.
103≥
Below project 103 are test levels, which are deleted probably because only the scratch team can access it due to it being unshared by the scratch team and the project API is hidden for unshared projects.
ID 1
When you try to open the project, It doesn’t exist. It has been overwritten several times for testing purposes. dertermenter said
