Particularly amazing gemstones in the virtual field of Scratch suggestions. Click on a link to get started! Each link brings you to a thread on the Scratch suggestion forums. These threads explain their suggestions better than most of the other suggestions on Scratch (of which half are duplicates!) so I figured I'd compile a list of the best suggestions here. I'm not saying I particularly like these suggestions but they generally are explained well and have pretty interesting suggestions. (At least, when not flooded by (no) "support"s!)
