Comment Need to be able to export the blocks to XML (Score 1) 78
Hiding the Java code from you is not a problem if you consider App Inventor blocks as a new programming language; it's not a translator therefore it doesn't need to show you an equivalent "generated code" that people claim it's missing.
However, as a new language, it's missing a big feature: googleability. In order to debug and ask questions, you need to be able to easily show a piece of code and let people search it through Google. This means that you need the code to be in text, not diagrams.
Adding a feature like, right click on a block -> export to XML, would be tremendously helpful to make this prime time.
