   Code.Org Review

   Code.org is much easier to use than Thunkable.First of all names say everything.Second,it has more modes than just "drag-and-drop".

   👍 Pros:    Pretty design|Price|Easy layout

   👎 Cons:    Unproffesional|Lack support by phone|No sign up cost

• Ask HN: Animation Software for Kids?

  I'm not sure if your 4.5yo is old enough to try Scratch[1] but nothing is too young these days. My elder got into Scratch around that time.

• Please help me with my code.org project. I cant post on the code.org forum bc its only for teachers

  Maybe a raspberry pi that's on 24/7 connected to wifi and use that to send the wake over lan signal to the server? Arduino on the power pins also works, I did something quite similar but with a Bluetooth board, the code was really simple I just made an Android app with MIT app inventor that sent a signal to the hc_05 bt board, once the Arduino received that signal it shorted the power pin to 5v for half a second...
