Does https://makecode.microbit.org/#pub:_T6bXj01sFV9L also need to be restored? |
This must be an old ID as it does not appear in this PR (edit: ahh it comes from the first commit before SUMMARY.md was regenerated). As far as I know, all the links in this PR are working. |
|
I had some comments about these projects in email. I feel like these should be called "Examples" so people know what they are (and are not). Also this adds 5 new rows to the Home Page - are we okay with making it even longer? Any way we can condense the rows? |
|
Also I feel like Games and Radio rows should be higher on the page as those are pretty popular. |
As discussed, this PR is a subset of agreed homepage changes.
These are the shared project ids that will likely need reinstating before this can be merged (though these are currently still working):Update: These have been restored, thanks.
