Cloud Lists?

So, I was thinking about cloud variables and then hoped there was a way to make a variable usid code. But then I thought that there are alredy lists, which are basically that. But those can’t be a cloud list. I think that cloud lists would make A TON.of things possible in Scratch, such as passwords, and entire databases. So I wish you could make cloud lists that share the whole list with everone who enters that project. Thanks!

Sincerely, A random scratcher.

So, the Scratch Team probably isn't adding in Cloud Lists.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I was a Scratch Team member from May 10th 2019 to October 29th 2021.

Cloud Lists?

This is a no.1 requested feature, The problem is that it chews up a ton more server storage space, and it'll make it easier to make a chat system which isn't allowed.

Take a look at my projects: Click Them To Play!

The Scratch Developers were confused of making cloud lists in Javascript. Even so, making a cloud list is extremely difficult.

Cloud Lists?

1.6 Cloud lists
Cloud variables currently have several restrictions. There can be at most 10 cloud variables per project due to server costs. New Scratchers cannot use cloud variables, for it is easy to misuse them. Cloud variables can only support up to 256 numeric digits to restrict the creation of chat projects; for more information, see #3.1 on this list.

This block would allow you to create lists to be stored on the servers for everyone to see, similar to cloud variables. However, cloud lists would require similar restrictions as listed above, and the issues currently presented with cloud variables would only grow with the addition of cloud lists. You can still use cloud variables to create a list which contains entries everyone can see, but the Scratch Team will not be adding an easy official way to make cloud lists.

couldn't chats be reported, it still is possible to create them and then they are reported, so it's the same thing

You can't report every one. Also, if there are still some that have not been reported now (which there are), then the amount of unreported cloud chats would go waaaaaaay up.

Cloud list could be very useful but they are rejected.

Not on scratch very often
