It’s exactly in the title.
Hi @pluto,
I’m not sure of the exact reason, if there was one incident or a shift over time. My guess is that this is an effort to protect student privacy and anonymity on the project galleries. There are still plenty of sample projects for you to use for inspiration, though.

Featured Projects allowed users only to show their projects and nothing else (besides their first initial of their username or display name I don’t really know). If carefully regulated, there would be no problem with featured projects.
I believe Code.org removed public projects due to ‘social media’ platforms popping up all over the Gamelab and Applab sections.
These include the basic chat, Live+ (created by [WUT] Adam) and other various platforms created by users.
I had suggested creating an AI to detect a chat project, but obviously they didn’t do this.
By the way, I used to be on Code.org as NVER678 or some other username (I had alt accounts)
I used the web inspect console to ‘hack’ chat projects to try keeping it safer for users.
