Is it possible to persist kids’ code into a backend database?

[syang]

I am thinking of building a local community where kids can share their code with each other.

I understand that Makecode does not support Cloud (or self-hosted backend) persistence. Can this be done?

I am not super familiar with the architecture of makecode, but if this is something aligned with the community, I’d love to be guided to contribute to this idea (if the core team does not have the bandwidth to work on it)

@syang which of our editors are you looking for this feature in?

We have accounts with sign-in on pxt-arcade

@riknoll I am thinking of Makecode for micro:bit. Essentially I’d like self-host a makecode for my site, and allowing kids to save their work there.

can you elaborate what you meant by “we have accounts with sign-in Oct-arcade”?

Jumping in here - we do support cloud synch of student projects for MakeCode Arcade (https://makecode.com/blog/arcade/intro-cloud-sync). And we are working on enabling this with micro:bit soon!

Yes, we plan to add this support to micro:bit soon. @eanders-ms FYI

We are enabling cloud save for microbit pretty soon. This will enable users to sync their projects to any browser. But what's described here sounds different; more like kids sharing code through a service. @syang can you elaborate on what you'd like to see?
