I teach coding to new programmers, in particular kids, and every step is a pain. In particular, since we had to go fully remote it's really hard to even get people started.

Anything where I can just say "go to this website, start typing python/javascript, see cool stuff happen" is cool.

Teaching code is hard enough, anything that makes the process easier, especially at the start, is greatly welcome.
