Creation stays central
Collaboration should support the Scratch editor, not replace it with a second workflow.
PREVIOUSLY LIVESCRATCHA shared workspace
for Scratch ideas.
CoBlocks is an independent open-source project making real-time collaboration feel native to Scratch.
THE PROJECT
Built for the moment an idea becomes a team project.
Scratch already makes it possible to imagine, code, and share. CoBlocks focuses on the part that happens between creators: working on the same project while the idea is still taking shape.
The project was previously known as LiveScratch and is based on the open-source Blocklive project created by MeechaPooch and rgantzos. CoBlocks continues that direction with a refreshed extension, Scratch Auth, project chat, recovery behavior, and a new identity.
It is maintained by Waakul with contributions and feedback from its community.
Recovery over regret
Network problems happen. Local recovery exists to make those moments less destructive.
Open by default
The code, issue tracker, contribution path, and self-hosting configuration are available publicly.
Community with context
Chat, shared blocks, and presence belong beside the project where collaborators need them.
Independent.
Open source.
Community-built.
CoBlocks is not affiliated with Scratch or the Scratch Foundation.
