Blockly is not a product aimed at kids, Blockly is aimed at developers who create products which are (often) aimed at kids. Thus kids use products such as Scratch, App Inventor, Open Roberta, etc, without ever encountering the word "Blockly". As for "KidCode", there are already 11,400 search results in Google for this word. We'd be creating far greater confusion by using this name. By contrast, "Blockly" had only one result when we named it, it's apparently the name of a house in Iowa. |
Blockly implies blockchain. I am not a fan of the blockchain, but your project name is bound to confuse users which are generally young children. As web-based programming is generally for beginner coders, this could set them down a path of confusion (and destruction). I propose renaming Blockly to Google KidCode
