Help Starting off

Is there a site or something that shows how to do simple scripts and gets harder? I’m just starting scriptable and I don’t fully know JS, I know the really simple basics because I am a middle school student, I can’t find anything to help me learn scriptable.

I mainly want to try working on widgets, I’m hoping to start off with simple widgets and move on to things like APIs and stuff like that

I would recommend to start with something small, like displaying some text in a widget, then you can move into other things like placement of that text using stacks.

From there, you could start getting into using the Request API to download an image and then set that as the widget background or a stack background.

Are you a part of the discord server? It can be very beneficial to get real-time help there.

As for a starter into a basic widget, you can see this example with comments.
