Show HN: Pickcode – Free online code editor for kids 16 by csmeyer | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! I've posted Pickcode a few times (most recently https://ift.tt/aueIURh ), but we've improved things quite a bit so I thought it was worth posting again. This is a bit of 1.0 release after a long year of working on the company full time! Pickcode is basically Replit-lite, for kids. The editor is simple: text editor + output console + big green button to run your code. We support Python, HTML/CSS/JS, Java, and our block/text hybrid language, Pickcode VL. We're partners on code.org's Hour of Code, and hundreds of thousands of students have tried our free stuff through them. An account for individual kids is totally free, and we offer some free Python and Pickcode VL lessons to get them started. We make money by selling licenses to schools for better customer support and roster/lesson management features. You can use this demo account I made to try out the editor: email
