Connecting Accounts

Haiming

For many of us, we have multiple accounts. I was wondering if Scratch could implement a way to connect our multiple accounts.

1. Transfer projects from 1 account to another.
When we are testing a project on our test account and we finally finished it, it would be useful to be able to transfer that project to our main account.
2. Receive notifications from all accounts.
Who likes jumping from 1 account to another? I suggest this because it will save A LOT of time. There could be separate tags on our message inbox to separate the notifications.
3. Ability to write forum posts in different accounts without having to log out.
Same reason as above. It will save time. There is a toggle to switch between accounts.
4. Useful for Collabs
If there was a collab, the members can all link their accounts to that one collab account. This way, all the members can update the project on just one account.

Linking
Linking would be simple. There's a button on a profile that says “Link”. When you press that button, a notification on the other account tells us that there's an attempted link. On that account, you can either deny or accept the link. There will be an infinite amount of accounts you can link.

Support for all of them, but you should probably consider expanding the information on the first post.

Things to consider adding:

How would you link an account? Would the accounts getting linked need to each submit a password?

How many accounts would you be allowed to link together?

When you wrote a forum post, which account would it display the post written by?

Could linked accounts comment the same way as you suggested writing a forum post?

How about studio managing/owning/curating? Would any of those roles get carried over?

Support for 1 and 2, unsure about 3.

Oooh! I could connect to amgames.

This would be very hard for the ST though.

I'll let the Scratch team figure those out.

I have another suggestion to add to this.

Maybe we should allow multiple different Scratchers edit the same forum topic! This would be especially useful in my shop (Melodia).

Oh no, when it comes to suggestions, you guys need to help us figure it out. We take into consideration the ease of implementation when considering suggestions.

People could link to others which would be quite annoying

You have to enter the password, so you can only connect to accounts you have. -_-
