Sharing projects on timers

GrannyCookies

(This would be similar to YouTube)

Example:
Ok, so say I was on holiday and had no internet.
If I'd made a project and wanted to share it, all I'd have to do was tell Scratch a date/time before I left.
It would then share the project on said date/time!

Another example:
Once upon a time I made a Merry Christmas project. Obviously I would be opening my presents so I'd have no time to share that project on Christmas. Sucks, huh?

Get the idea? Good.

GyroscopeBill came up with the great idea of unsharing on a timer too.
So support that aswell, please

I've always wanted to do something like this, so I support this

However, you can still make this pretty easily using scripts in the project

You can for example use these scripts:

(current [day v])
(current [month v])
(current [year v])

You can even make a countdown using scripts!

(However that's a bit more complicated, took several days for me to make)

But if you just could do all this without scripting it, it would be a lot easier and it would take less time to make

I support this idea!

GyroscopeBill

Yep, I support. By the same logic, would you also be able to set a date to unshare a project? That would also be useful.

DemCupcakesYo

I support.

But why would you want to unshare a project?

If it's not Christmas anymore, the project could unshare itself. It makes sense.

Good point, didn't think of that.

I fully support both!

TheHockeyist

Eh… support.

Haiming

Support, but how do you implement it?

Scratchifier

I don't really see a use for this…

But I'm on Scratch so often that I don't really need this idea.

Seems helpful for more inactive Scratchers.

Support.

No support. Don't want to encourage delay of sharing projects.
