Trinket.io is shutting down.
I'm kind of bummed. It doesn't seem possible to spin up your own version on a local server so I need to decide what to do for fifth grade python programming by the end of the summer.
The head of IT put me on to trinket... I didn't like that it was an IDE in a browser. But It was clean.
Please don't tell me "just install linux on 300 chromebooks."
That would be nice, but it's not in my control. I could ask IT to add apps to the the chromebooks however.
@futurebird you're not going to like this but maybe you can install something like Termux on those chromebooks and teach the students to use nvim 😜
Probably not, though. Learning Python AND a totally different way to edit text would be tough for most students, although for a few it might be great.
What I could use is an app, that is in the "google play store" that you can buy, or is free... with no ads (non-negotiable about the ads, this is for school)
That was kind of an all in one python compiler and text editor.
On mac, python is in the command line and I use "thony" or other IDEs to work with it (or terminal if I want to scare the children)
But what do you do on a got dang chromebook?
I don't need to run big programs. Just turtle and scripts.
I made the seniors in advanced CS use ONLY terminal for a whole week and got a "thank you" letter from one at college.
"everyone thinks I'm a hacker this is amazing"
Yes, it is that easy I suppose.
