Cloud List

Cloud List

Hello Dear Scratch Team!
I'm here because I had the idea to add Cloud Lists. In fact, I've been thinking about it a long time. Of course, I held back as I wasn't creating a project with a cloud list. I know, of course, that it can be done with cloud variables, but it is difficult and it will not fully work because of the character limit in the cloud variable. I also think our Lovely Scratch Cat would like Scratchers to experiment with lists. Perhaps this will encourage others to use variables and lists.
I also think that if someone created a list and saw that it is possible to create a cloud list, they would experiment with it immediately. I would also like Scratch to look like a desirable programming language such as Python or JavaScript. I guess everyone would like cloud lists.

Please help me convince the Scratch Team to add Cloud Lists!

Greetings from Scratch Cat!

If the Scratch Team wants me to work with them, it will be an honor for me! This means I can donate Ideas for Scratch Improvement.

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.

That was already said, no need to say it twice after 4 hours.

Oh, and the part where you said “If the Scratch Team wants me to work with them,” is pretty much unlikely as you need to be 18 or older to be on the Scratch Team.

Right, we don't have the resources to add cloud lists to Scratch. Sorry.
