This is a blog post telling the story of Allcancode that started with a coding game featured in code.org and played by millions of kids around the world and then transformed to a tool provider that streamlines software development.

No, it's the story of a guy with passion behind an unmarketable idea.

Now they are desperate to keep their 'AllCanCode' trademark alive!

It's sad really.

it apears they have not entered the market nor created a prototype yet though. maybe the next pivot will be a platform where designers can find developers. youre very lucky as a dev to find a good designer and vice versa.

There once was a tool that simplifies software production built into nearly all 8-bit machines. It was called BASIC.

Millions of kids learned how (and how not) to code using it. Many of them gained a career as a result.

Unfortunately kids in the future had to do without it. Because there were a -thousand- 'better ideas'.

Did you build your tool with your tool? That's really the only question that matters as far as I see it. If not, why not?

Why do you feel this question matters at all, let alone be the only question that matters?
