  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • scratch-www

    Standalone web client for Scratch

  • I'd recommend to start making games with Scratch. You can make some pretty cool games with it despite how simple it may seem. It'll allow you to experiment without worrying about code and learn how to design and think like a programmer which translates well to an actual language later on.

  • GDevelop

    :video_game: Open-source, cross-platform game engine designed to be used by everyone.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • haxe

    Haxe - The Cross-Platform Toolkit

  • I think Haxe is pretty easy for beginners -- https://haxe.org/

  • flixel

    Free, cross-platform 2D game engine powered by Haxe and OpenFL

  • You can use it with https://haxeflixel.com/ or https://heaps.io/ for example.

  • stencyl-engine

    Create Flash, HTML5, iOS, Android, and desktop games with no code with Stencyl. This is the source to Stencyl's Haxe-based engine.

  • similar to scratch is Stencyl which can also serve as a transition to eventually using Haxe: http://www.stencyl.com/

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
