Scratch is a block based language by MIT meant to teach young kids code. It worked. 10 year old me couldn't get enough of the website.
This is a collection of all the little projects I made over the months I was using scratch (before I started using big boy languages like python)
Just built with base level scratch, I wasn't very smart at the time of making these projects but looking back, they are honestly quite impressive...
I didn't learn much technically from scratch. But looking back, this is where the interest started. Something about sitting down and making a thing, even a really boring thing, and having it actually run. That feeling stuck around even when I quit and came back and quit again.
Scratch was the foundaion.
HTML, CSS, and Java Script are languages mainly used for making webpages and/or simple games.
This is a collection of all the webpage projects I have created or collaberated in.
I actually owe my re-introduction to code to HTML and CSS, making the website, seeing the code come to life in something that I own, something that is all mine. It is very gratifying.
It's a library of all the Apple Shortcuts I made. Some of them are personal or exclusive to my devices but I've included most of them and I will keep updating the website.
Shortcuts are honestly what got me back into coding. My friend Walter (yo@walterck.com) showed me all the impressive things he did with shortcuts and even though I can't compete with that, it still inspired me to make my own projects that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Some of these shortcuts require an automation to harness their full potential. To set up an automation, open the Shortcuts app. On the bottom of your screen, there will be a menu with three buttons: "Library", "Automation", "Gallery". Click on "Automation". In the top right corner there is a plus sign, click on it. There will be a menu full of different triggers, select a trigger that you want to trigger a shortcut. For example, Message trigger for Message Logger. I will specify which trigger is optimal within the description. Once you select a trigger, there will be another menu with all your shortcuts, select which one you want to run with the trigger. Now your automation is set up!
The main apps I used for the shortcuts are Actions, Shortcuts, Toolbox Pro, Data Jar, Device Monitor, and a few smart home apps that I use. These will change for each user so I have not included smart home shortcuts.
The Shortcuts app gets cluttered fast. Long press any shortcut to move it into a folder. I'd recommend organising yours into the same categories featured on this page. Takes two minutes and makes everything way easier to find.
Got something specific in mind that isn't here? I build custom shortcuts on request, so get in touch and we can work something out. Contact me at billy-bit@outlook.com or contact@billy-bit.com.
Python is my favourite language at the time of writing this. It's simplicity and potential meant I could make the projects I wanted without crying.
Python really helped to improve my confidence as a coder. I got to make actually working projects that really taught me new and important things. And I owe it to python.
