Hello @sjquigley Thanks for checking out Phoenix Code and reaching out with valuable feedback. I received your email too reg. this and replied there too. The publish feature has its ups and downs. Since we don't have any logins, a restriction was placed to initially delete sites after 7 days. But then, it was a school which requested to increase the time to 30 days so that teachers get time to evaluate and grade student projects. There was also questions relating to organizational login for schools, students and teachers to manage group learning and shared work spaces .We have been asked about building "Phoenix For Education" with said features, which we have not yet prioritized. Reg. the publish workflow, Phoenix Code Desktop builds are only about 1.5 months old(web builds have been around for a year) and till now, the focus was on creating the app. We are working on integrating logins to gate publishing by June, post which you would need an account to publish content(but you can still use the app without any accounts). Will the above login requirement fix your use case, or is there something more that you are looking for? Also, any feedback on education related requirements/workflows will help us prioritize that. |

Thanks Arun et al.
We love Phoenix Code and are really excited about promoting it amongst secondary ELA teachers in the US.
*Yes, I think creating a login function for publishing is super useful and will help flag/remove problematic content. And thank you for making this FOSS
*Most US schools use Chromebook computers. I was wondering about the possibility of developing a Chromebook app that does not require a linux development environment. School systems are very restrictive about what apps they allow on student computers and I doubt they allow Linux development environments.
Ideally, we would want an IT school specialist managing 2,000 Chromebooks to be able to add Phoenix Code App to all district computers in one click.
On another note, I have noticed that Phoenix Code loads in the browser via cached files….even without internet. We had set up all of our computers with a Phoenix Code icon shortcut located in app launcher. However, this shortcut function was removed in the latest Chrome OS release. :(. As a workaround for the latest Chrome OS release, we “pinned” Phoenix Code to all of our browsers. All of this is a hassle. It would be great to have a Phoenix Code Icon in the App Launcher, even if it’s just a browser shortcut.

Schools in the US are very concerned about privacy issues and bullying. It seems like the 30-day "publish" function could create some problems and even libel lawsuits. Thoughts on this? Are there any options for removing this function?
