Is there any Scratch Link for Android?
I am trying to build a small and cost effective robotics car that is scratch programmable.

The issue is the scratch link works on windows, which is a big no at least in India, where computers are still not household items.
But most of the people owns a smart phone, so is there any version of scratch link that works on Android.

scratch app will not work for me, as I am building custom extensions for a ESP32 robotics car. Anyway, I removed the whole app dependency whether its exe or apk, now it just works from browser, with websockets jsonrpc directly talking to the ESP32 board.
as its not possible to install any app, in most of the places like school, etc. making a fully browser based scratch makes it possible for any one to use a low cost mobile phone/android box/fire tv/miricast/tablet/windows/mac/raspberry pi, etc to learn programming.
Scratch is a wonderful piece of technology, but the condition its puts on hardware, make it out of reach for most of the world. As I mentioned, in India android smart phones and HMDI TV are a common thing, you just need to add a chromecast clone for 15USD.
