• Ask HN: Modern Day Equivalent to HyperCard?

  Take a look at Snap. It was originally a scratch mod, but does allows for all sorts of advanced things. https://snap.berkeley.edu. - Source: Hacker News / 19 days ago

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

  There is also Snap! (https://snap.berkeley.edu/) which starts very much like Scratch but has higher ceiling. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Scratch in the Browser

  Https://snap.berkeley.edu/ Snap! Is made by folks previously involved in Berkeley Logo, and has a lot of "missing pieces" that make organizing programs easier: lambdas, cc, and binding functions to definitions (aka build-your-own-blocks). - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• I am completely new to coding of any kind. Where should I start?

  Or try a similar site by Berkeley (scratch is MIT): https://snap.berkeley.edu/. Source: 11 months ago

• Intro Python class for beginners at DMS: Hmm!

  I would start with block-based coding with Snap!. Source: 12 months ago

• Using pikaur, how would I disable asking me "Do you want to edit PKGBUILD for <package_name> package? [Y/n]"

  Have a look here. Did you not search for the answer? That's part of the Arch(based) ethos. We tend to like to learn by reading whatever is required. :). Source: about 1 year ago

• Nala v0.10.0 - Nala's A Legible Apt

  I was also looking for something nicer for Arch, but haven't found anything as nice as Nala. For now, I switched to pikaur, which at least displays updates in a much clearer way. Source: almost 2 years ago

• I created a tool to install AUR packages in 1 click from the website: Aurin

  Nice, but this definately needs a dependency resolver, otherwise it can only install a fraction of the available AUR packages. Since you're already using python, you may adapt your whole code on top a another python-based AUR helper like pikaur. You maybe also could take at the dep resolver of my ABS project. It's python, too, maybe not as clean as pikaur's code but simpler and not too integrated. Source: over 2 years ago

• Which AUR-helper is recommended?

  I've been using pikaur ever since pacaur became abandonware and I'm very happy with it, can't recommend it enough. Sure, it's not implemented in Rust or Go so it's certainly not as cool as yay or paru but that doesn't really matter much to me, being an end user. I don't really care as long as it does its job, as advertised. Source: about 3 years ago
