Hello, after multiple nights of deciding to ‘sleep on it’, I have decided to suggest this. I thought that it would be useful to have a feature which allows you to test cloud projects with yourself. This would be like a little extra screen or something that allows scratchers to test cloud projects with themselves using the project as 2 users without sharing it. I think this would really help those making cloud projects frequently not to have to constantly keep sharing & unsharing their projects. Here is a short list of Pros &cons:

PROS:
- would help frequent cloud var users
- this would help those who want to test things like cloud chats(without sharing it for public use), that are not allowed to be shared.
The situation above is a little bit hard to understand, so here's an example(from personal experience): I want to create a cloud-based chat. I work on it for months, and finish a concept. just as i was about to share it, i got onto the forums and realized that these kinds of projects weren't allowed. I still want to test the concept, but i can't due to the fact i can't share it and therefore can't learn very much abt cloud lists and vars.
- This would help those who don't want to get into making cloud projects because of the hassle of constantly sharing and unsharing the proj.

CONS:
- This would pretty hard to implement

Semi-Support

Support for:
Testing it, you can test it but you can only play it by yourself. So how are you gonna know if it works or not?????

No support for:
The little extra screen, can you just already see cloud data????
It will also be very hard to implement.

You can use turbowarp, too

I'm pretty interested in making/testing cloud chats (If I decide to start make projects, that is) but this method sounds like the road to private messaging…

How, though? you can only test with yourself.

Oh okay… I'm a bit confused on what this suggestion is asking So if you're testing a cloud chat it would be like chatting with yourself on two different screens and seeing if it sends through? How would it work?

Yeah, a bit like that. it would work a bit like a new tab almost.

I support because this would be massively useful (currently I think you have to use multiple browsers all logged into separate accounts with the Scratcher rank on a published project), but this also sounds like a nightmare to implement. +1, and empathy for the Scratch Team members who would implement this (implying that anything from the Suggestions forum gets added lol)

You can open a separate browser window, split the screen, and test on turbowarp. It works.

Really? If it can access cloud data that sounds like a security issue to me.

Edit: Fixed typo lol

just use another tab of the same project or turbowarp

Well, turbowarp isn't really official, so that doesn't really count. You have to have a different account and a different browser to test it, unless you can to incognito mode which most kids can't do.

TurboWarp uses its own cloud server.
