About This Issue

This GitHub issue (#831 "OmniAmpKitten") is a feature discussion/proposal, not a bug report or a concrete engineering task. It was originally posted as a community discussion and suggests merging three separate Scratch-based mods — OmniBlocks, AmpMod, and LibreKitten — into a single combined mod.

Current Status & Context

From the issue thread comments, several important clarifications emerge:

1. Scope is smaller than initially perceived — None of these mods are very large; each has limited features and "only really have one selling point, if any"
2. Partial overlap already exists — LibreKitten's Web Server feature has already been ported to OmniBlocks, reducing duplication
3. AmpMod is being rewritten — The maintainer (Amp) is planning a "re-modding" (refactoring/rewrite) of AmpMod anyway, which aligns with consolidation efforts
4. This is exploratory — The issue creator explicitly states they made this issue "to see what the AIs think" and prefer discussion in the linked discussion thread (stop being distracted by openstud and READ THIS #808)

What the codebase is

OmniBlocks (scratch-gui) is a fork of TurboWarp/Scratch 3.0 — a React + Redux + Webpack web application that serves as a multi-language block-based IDE. It has:

• An addon system in src/addons/ (85+ addons inherited from TurboWarp and community contributions)
• Custom forks of scratch-vm, scratch-blocks, scratch-paint, and scratch-svg-renderer under the OmniBlocks GitHub org
• Long-term goals of adding Python/C++ editors, a plugin system, and an Electron app

Why This Isn't Actionable Yet

The proposal requires community consensus and maintainer alignment before concrete implementation planning:

1. Feature inventory — Detailed list of what each mod provides and how they differ
2. Maintainer alignment — Agreement from AmpMod and LibreKitten maintainers to merge
3. Integration strategy — Decision on how to integrate features (as addons, core features, or hybrid approach)
4. License compatibility — Verification that all three projects have compatible open-source licenses (OmniBlocks is AGPL-3.0)
5. Community feedback — Consensus from the discussion thread (stop being distracted by openstud and READ THIS #808)

Recommendation

This issue should remain in discussion phase until the above prerequisites are met. Once maintainers agree and a strategy is decided, concrete implementation tasks can be broken down and tracked as separate issues. The discussion thread (#808) is the appropriate venue for this exploratory conversation.

Hi @someCatInTheWorld! Thanks for bringing this up.

While merging OmniBlocks, AmpMod, and LibreKitten into a single mod sounds like an ambitious and fascinating idea, I noticed that this issue is more suited for general discussion than as a GitHub issue. For topics like this, I recommend heading over to the discussions tab (https://github.com/orgs/OmniBlocks/discussions) to gather feedback and ideas from the community. It seems like you’ve already linked a relevant discussion there as well—good call!

Let me know if you need help with anything else!

Hi @someCatInTheWorld! Merging OmniBlocks, AmpMod, and LibreKitten into one massive mod sounds like a bold idea with lots of potential for collaboration and innovation! However, as intriguing as it is, this suggestion would be better suited for the discussions tab where broader brainstorming and feedback from the community can take place. I see you've referenced a discussion for this already, which is great!

Feel free to keep proposing exciting ideas, and let me know if there's anything else I can help with!

Hi @someCatInTheWorld! Combining OmniBlocks, AmpMod, and LibreKitten into a single mod—the mighty OmniAmpKitten—is quite an imaginative idea that could lead to exciting possibilities for collaboration and innovation! However, since this isn't a concrete issue but more of a brainstorming suggestion, it's best suited for the discussions tab, as you've already linked (great thinking!).

Feel free to share more ideas or reach out if you need assistance with anything else! Keep dreaming big!
