Realtime Collaboration
Teamwork makes the dream work. With Gandi, you can invite teammates to your project, design, code, and debug together in real-time. Say goodbye to the unreadable sb3 files spreading on your desktop. Gandi also allows you and your teammates to manage file versions right in the IDE.
Rich Extensions
Scratch is designed for educational purposes and has over 100 million users worldwide. But it also has tons of design flaws. Gandi is intended to solve these problems. Gandi extensions give you access to many features Scratch does not have, including unlimited clones, cloud variables and databases, JSON data structures, regular expressions, lazy loading, video and audio playback, multi-player game engines, and more.
Check out these highlighted extensions and use cases:
Gandi Simple MMO
Multi-player game extensions, with features including:
- Create broadcast/match/lobby rooms
- Broadcast messages to others in the room
- Sync player state automatically

Gandi Data Utils
A simple cloud database with JSON data structure utils

Performance Improvement
Scratch interprets a syntax tree at runtime, a mechanism which slows run speed. Gandi compiled a project like TurboWarp that allows Gandi to run a project faster. Moreover, Gandi pushed the compiler forward to use WebAssembly for complex algorithms which will enable Gandi to run projects even faster.
