As with anything, there was a long list of work that I never got around to mostly because life happened - kids, startups, etc. I would love to bring Small Basic to the browser where it's easy to share your programs and creations with your friends.
I continue to maintain the webservices needed for the app, but any substantial investment is at least a year out unfortunately.

Is there a Windows client front end ide rather than a browser?
It's much easier to enable alternative input from say a .Net Framework WPF app...
I took SB to the next level in Small visual Basic. Its source code is published, and it consists of 7 WPF (VB .NET) projects, so you can fork the language and modify the form designer and code editor as you like:

Nowadays I work with people living with disabilities and I come across kids who want to program but who cannot use a traditional keyboard and mouse. I was just discussing the need for a simplified ide and language syntax with full programming power and Small Basic came to mind.
Any chance this work will see new life outside of its 'side project' status?
