• Ask HN: Modern Day Equivalent to HyperCard?

  LiveCode is about the closest literal logical successor to HyperCard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiveCode?wprov=sfti1 That said, I think Scratch is a better learning environment these days and you can develop workable apps in the style of HyperCard. There are plenty of tutorials, documentation, and examples to work from. https://scratch.mit.edu. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze

  And https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now. I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  +1 Scratch! My son started with it, then expanded into Roblox/Lua. Children can download other people's games and experiment there. Scratch also has pre-made art, sounds, music. https://scratch.mit.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  I am also going to highly recommend Scratch[1]. That is what got me into a programming around that age. You can even help him make a website to host his games on. [1]: https://scratch.mit.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  This ! Learning to code will come after, spending time with your son writing down ideas might be more fun at first and it's a good time to teach him that games are thoughts first and then coded after. I would have recommended Scratch [1] for a first introduction instead of hoping into code right away, but since he is 9yo he will most likely want to hop on big game engine like he sees his favorite youtubers doing.... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Cloud Functions for Firebase mentions (27)

• I just realized how expensive Firebase is for Social Media Apps

  I tried to make a reddit like app. I used both realtime-database and firestore as database. The billing of the two is different from each other. I used realtime-database for frequently updated data (like or upvote, downvote count for ex.) and firestore for more stable and large data (post, comment, community and user data..). While doing this, I only used database rules, I did not use Cloud functions. So, I... Source: 12 months ago

• Setting up an auto-email micro function for Firebase RTDB

  Const functions = require("firebase-functions"); // // Create and deploy your first functions // // https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/get-started // // exports.helloWorld = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => { // functions.logger.info("Hello logs!", {structuredData: true}); // response.send("Hello from Firebase!"); // });. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Moving my Android app to Google cloud

  Cloud Functions for Firebase - Pros: Aligns to my app which uses Firebase; Cons: have to use Typescript which I have no experience with. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is it safe to assume the user won't be able to manually call my Firebase functions from the frontend?

  Cloud Functions run on Google's servers and are part of your project, so only you and your project collaborators can deploy that code. Source: over 1 year ago

• React TODO list app but with a twist?

  That would be a Firebase Cloud Function. Check their latest list of YouTube tutorials, they'll guide you through creating an app with full Firebase features. Source: over 1 year ago
