Sorted by recent activityImprovement of the messaging section on the settings page
When the messaging feature is enabled, message loading starts, but it is not clear that loading is in progress because no text or indication is shown. Also, all messages are fetched from the beginning, so if there are many accumulated messages, a large number of requests are sent. In addition, a setting option to disable this feature is needed.

A Dedicated Cloud-Themed Cover for Scratch Projects
Would it be possible to introduce a clearer visual distinction for projects that use cloud variables in Scratch? For example, these projects could feature a slightly bluer cover along with a subtle cloud icon, making them instantly recognizable to users. Additionally, including a small cloud icon at the beginning of the project link for cloud-enabled projects could further enhance visibility and usability. This would make it easier for users to quickly identify and access projects that utilize cloud features.

Cannot upload ".sprite3" files when using the plugin.
I cannot upload ".sprite3" files (individual sprite files) to scratch when using ScratchTools (as shown in dark-mode image) while in vanila scratch (as shown in light mode image) I am using Chrome version 146.0.7680.178 (arm64) and MacOS Tahoe 26.4

A package of extensions using GitHub Actions
Package the extension for Firefox and Edge using GitHub Actions. There must be a certain number of people who want to use Scratch Tools on the Firefox and Edge add-on stores. (At least my friends do) Also, the versions currently published on the Firefox and Edge add-on stores are significantly different from the latest version, causing confusion. Considering these points, I would like to make it easy to respond to these issues using GitHub Actions.

Split/join set x/y blocks
Right-clicking a go to x,y block gives the option to split into a set x and set y block. Additionally, a set x and set y block adjacent to each other can be combined.

More Paint Functions committed removal of vanilla features!
Can you please fix it? Someone said that this was done to sacrifice the copy-paste-delete buttons! When you use the other mouse tool that lets you morph the shapes or whatever it is, it doesn't let you make the things sharp or smooth!

More paint editor functions removes copy paste and delete buttons
Can you please fix it?

Direction set
How it works is that you now can see what the rotation angle of a vector on the costume editor is, and you can set the exact angle it is. This is EXTREMELY useful for animation where you can just move and effectively switch a vector for another. Actually, ima include a secondary here. The other feature I want makes it so that you can replace a vector with another. Like for example: Replacing say, a head, with the vector in the clipboard. The replacement will be at the same rotation as the replaced vector, and it can also change where it is replaced. The replacer vector could be at the center of the vector getting replaced, it can be middle bottom, and so much more. This helps a lot.

Issues with Show Recent Followers and Followings
With the "Show Recent Followers and Followings," I've noticed that it sometimes doesn't display a lot of followers/following and on some profiles it causes the box to break entirely.

A small icon below a comment box to indicate where your comment is risky to got you filtered
Yeah this can either go to the impractical or rejected zone, but there would be this small indicator or symbol where it detects where if your comment will get you muted or potentionally reported. Like there will be a small green circle below the comment you're about to post and then it turns red when it can get you muted. This can also go with emojis like ✅ and then ❌

Custom Block Categories?
Like lets say a project has a ton of custom blocks, what if you could split them up into categories? Scratch addons I think has the ability to recolor custom blocks but what if you could create local categories for custom blocks where each category has an assigned color? Something like shown in the image. (Doesn't matter if it is only visible to the creator or visible to everyone who has the addon enabled, I think it'd be great for organizing custom blocks either way.)

This displays the status of the project when the mouse cursor is placed over it. It is similar to a "User Hover Cards".

Comment List
The feature will display the comments, which are separated by sprite, in a summarized form in the editor. It would be great if you could jump to the comments from the list and edit them directly!

Customize sections of the home screen
The Scratch home page shows what our followers have done and the various projects they are working on, but we would like to be able to customize this page. For example, I want to show my analytics, mail summary, multiple favorite studios and online friends. If this section can be rearranged or resized, the home screen can be made into a page more to your liking.

RSS feed for scratch projects
RSS feeds are decentralized servers/clients that look thru the feeds and gets the content, then can be used. They can easily be rate limited so that they don't spam scratch, and use localstorage for cache. If this is made as an api module, it can easily be used on separate platforms. Letting people on scratch easier get views, without relying on scratch's front-page. I know <@916740508368384010> has made one (not sure if it is finished) that is made for the front-page. If we make it to a RSS feed it could make notifications for new projects vailable too.

Feature Setting Page with Banner
When I first saw the settings page for the extension, it was filled with text, and in order to understand it, I had to read every single word. Since it's displayed in a grid, it would be more intuitive to add a banner at the top of each item to represent the feature, making it easier to find the feature. If this isn't preferred, you could add an option to display or hide the banner. Alternatively, since there is a page at https://www.scratchtools.app/features/, a link to that page could be included instead.

Show What Comment Replied To
In most websites, such as Discord, when you reply, it will show a bit of the message above it. Yet, this functionality isn't found on Scratch, leading to a lot of ambiguity. Well do I propose a fix to this!! Once the "reply" button is pressed, it shows a text box for the user to type in (as usual), but it also includes a string of zero-width characters. These characters are simply the number part of the link the comment replied to. -# For reference, I'm talking about the bolded portion of this: https://scratch.mit.edu/users/-Brass_Glass-/#comments-**__372370232__** Then, for users with the feature enabled, it will show the original reply above it, just like how Discord does it, by reading the string of characters! And, for people without the extension, it is zero-width, so it doesn't show \:D The actual logistics for the characters is simple, [here](https://unicode-explorer.com/articles/space-characters) is a simple list of space characters (in the middle of the webpage). You can also use LTR and RTL (left-to-right, right-to-left) to use base-6 instead of base-4. In terms of display, as the aforementioned message entailed, it would be nice to have it sort of how Discord does it. The only difference which I propose is to instead have the original comment be directly next to the username. To make it less cluttered though, if the comment is replying to the one directly above it, it can instead simply draw a line between the two message's profile pictures, kind of like how Reddit does it, just without the indent. I also provided a quick mock-up of how I would imagine it to be \:) -# Possibly not the final design, but something like the attachment. Hope this is considered, and isn't too complicated to perform! \:D

Search Comments
so like you can sort them from date (regular scratch, or from the first comment in the top) and from how many replies from it as well as some other things that i can't think of right now and (implied by the name), you can search comments! this'll be really cool yes :>

Followed user's projects
I made a post like this once before, but I have a different design idea now. Is it possible to have a bar like the custom studio bar, but that shows all of your followed user's latest projects? It would have a cap I think so it can't get every posted project, maybe like 50 projects, but in order of posting time, not by user. Like the yt subscriptions page. Ping me if you have questions. I think this would solve a big problem with scratch.

Rotate by non-45deg angles
Sometimes you need to rotate a shape by an angle that isn't a multiple of 45 degrees. Maybe add a customizable angle step modifier?

Setting for 'More Paint Functions' to return copy and paste
'More Paint Functions' gives you some (possibly) useful buttons but it decides itself to hide the 'delete' 'copy' and 'paste' buttons which i think should be a setting as i dont think it would be too cluttered and would really like these buttons back. Also some better explanations of these buttons would be nice. Original post link: https://discord.com/channels/1007463169381384222/1191073295014035516/1334578263397240832

Inactive stage in editor
When you open a Scratch project, it starts off "inactive," meaning it won't do anything. Running the project will activate it, meaning it can run its code. Stopping a project does NOT deactivate it, since it can still run when key pressed scripts. However, opening the project in the editor while it's inactive activates it. The addon I'm requesting disables this behavior. This is useful for if you've put a crash script in your project by accident and can't remove it.

More Mentions
Scratch, like many sites, has ways to mention users with @ and tags with #. But what about easy ways to mention projects or studios? I propose **More Mentions**. Projects can be mentioned with ! and then the project id like this: !123456789, while studios could be mentioned with a $ (these could be changed in settings). Additional mentions could also be created with custom links and start characters. All mentions added by this tool are automatically converted to the link it refers to when they are typed. User, project, and studio mentions can now also be searched through, showing possible results after typing a few characters. (I'll make mockups when I have a chance)

More school features
It would be cool if we could try appealing more to schools and teachers. Some ideas would be a way to work with extension policies, a system for teachers to create classes and assignments, and students to be able to attach projects to them. Additionally, ScratchTools community-based features don't really appeal quite as much to teachers and those kinds of uses, so a focus on editor features for a bit could be ideal if this is the direction we choose to go for a bit.

User credit in extension
Instead of specifying the user credit for every feature, you load them from id. That id is used to get them from userCredit.json This makes it simpler to update links and general info.
