[K-12] Duolingo but for Programming?
There’s ScratchJr (https://www.scratchjr.org/) which my 4 year old daughter learned in about an hour. There is the full version of Scratch (https://scratch.mit.edu) and then there are a ton of other apps out there.

Hi! We are Dr. Amanda Martin and JJ Brosnan, Developer and Python data scientist at Deephaven. Ask us anything about getting started in the data science industry, working with large data sets, and working with streaming data in Python.
The real important thing is making it fun. I have taught kids as young as 6 some aspects of CS. Depending on the particular kid a good place to start is ScratchJr. Often it starts as just playing with colors but then they notice that with some coding logic they can make great stories. This is also available on ipad for kids that have not mastered a mouse.

Announcing: Downpour
This looks lovely! One nice addition would be the ability to record sounds and link them. This feature in ScratchJr [1] allows children to make animations with cute voices.

Anyone trying to get their kid to learn how to program? I'm a coder, can give recommendations :)
https://www.tynker.com/ is great, https://www.scratchjr.org/ is also great. Both mentioned by the parent up above too :). Probably starting at age 6 or 7 for scratch Jr could work, if you help them through it I'm sure that would help both you learn!

My kid loves computers. I would like him to start programming, just for fun to see if it is something for him. But how to start, what type of programming language that is appealing. Books? I mean, we can start with Lisp, but how long will attention hold? Please advise, thanks.
Depending the age of your kids, there as also scratch junior: https://www.scratchjr.org/

Coding site for 9 and 6 year old
The 6-year-old might start with this one - https://www.scratchjr.org/

You can now use ScratchJr on your Chromebooks(especially those made after 2017), underrated coding app for children but it can teach anyone.
There exists plans for a web version (on the GitHub repo), but I don't know if it will actually come out anytime soon considering the ST's laziness.

UI scaling in Android App
As far as I am aware, yes, there is not any other ways to change the font size from the system and from the app settings. Probably the best thing you would be able to do is modifying the source code and then building the APK.

Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze
and https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now.
I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I think when kids grok these things these apps become just types of glofiried education flavoured video games. There are a lot of things in kodable for instance that I feel are just basic web games with coding terms slapped on it.
https://scratch.mit.edu/ is more like 'programming' imo, even at the level of the objective -- having a blank canvas to create something. It seems a little advanced for my kids right now though.

Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?
+1 Scratch! My son started with it, then expanded into Roblox/Lua.
Children can download other people's games and experiment there. Scratch also has pre-made art, sounds, music.

Ask HN: Best tools for 4/5 year old to learn programming?
I'm looking for the best systems to help a 4/5 year old get the basics of programming. My daughter has shown interest in what I do, and loves puzzles and building things. Looking for something visual and fun that can start her down the path of logic and creating with computers.
I have a passing familiarity with Scratch [1], which I'm now looking into more, but am hoping others can share their knowledge and experience in this area.
