A couple of thoughts about the project token stuff:
who in the world thinks it’s a good idea to require a token for shared, public scratch projects?!? it’s just unnecessary work!
what about project embedding? what will happen to that? I doubt the scratch team wants to remove embedding since it promotes coding and sharing your projects
What if you’re not logged in and want to use a scratch project? Will you have to be logged in or else not be able to load any projects?
The big fear I have is this will turn into something like when the studios were transferred, a massive public outrage aimed at the scratch team. We’re talking 9 pages of forum topics just complaining about the studios. This is even worse than the studios though because it’s not just a design change, it actually removes functionality of being able to view and edit projects on turbowarp, which is much faster in some cases than normal scratch. So I fear people are going to complain A LOT. They are going to be outraged.

Scratch was supposed to be an open-source platform where people can learn to code and share their work. But, bit by bit the Scratch Team is ruining it, by slowly making everything closed-source. First the new API, then studios, and now they are restricting access to all projects all together. It’s only going to get worse…
The studios are open source I think (llk/scratch-www) but I can see what you mean. It’s really sad
