How to get started when you get a non-subscription box
Please give clear instructions for how to use the site when folks buy a Bitbox from, say, Amazon, which is how I discovered you guys, or as a gift. Perhaps:
1. Got a box in your hands for the first time?
2. Create a Kids Sign-in here
3. Get started here Play with the starter apps, then add apps from the booklet.... Or something like that. I prowled around a lot, not quite sure what to do, before figuring this out.
Thanks for a fun product!
5 votesHey there,
Thanks for the great suggestions! We just rolled out a new website and you’re completely right—the getting started flow isn’t quite there yet. It’s something we’re hoping to work on soon!

How to get kids to learn rather than simply copy...
Hi! This is Josiah's mom. I wanted to let you all know that I've noticed that when Josiah made the programs that we got from the free pamphlet, that there were prompts on the screen guiding him in how to change the code to make it his own. In the Bitsbox we received, those prompts are in the magazine. However, Josiah isn't as interested in reading all the magazine prompts, and he instinctively moves on to making his next app rather than playing with each app as he makes it (hope this is making sense). If there were screen-prompts, he…

fix your login
your login interface does not work well if you need to change your password.
it gives you a temporary password but there is no way to change the password to a permanent password.
as a result my kid got really frustrated losing her work and gave up.

A form input control
I'd like something that is a mix between the existing text function and an HTML form. The 'prompt' is okay, but doesn't feel right when mixed with the other tools that are much more app like.
A good example would be building a chat app. But even just a simple "Enter your name" for a game app would look better if there was some kind of component.

Extend session timeouts
Get rid of session time outs, or at least log the user out when it happens. Kids come back to an unfinished app days later, start coding, then lose their work when they realize they are no longer logged in.
4 votesSorry. That is a known bug. Currently it should be around 24 hours.
For now just remind your kids to refresh the page every day. -

More tutorials, a drawing section, and social media.
This is a very unique program. I suggest that you add more tutorials of extended varieties. Also, you should make a section for art, where you can draw with your mouse, and change the pen size, and use varying tools such as a filling bucket, etc. Lastly, although it would be a big project, you should add a social media aspect, where you can share projects, and there can be featured projects, comments, profiles, etc. Please take these suggestions into consideration. Thanks!
