Coming soon/v0.1

Learn to code.Actually enjoy it.

Loopwise is a place to learn programming by actually writing it. Small lessons you finish, code you type yourself, projects that end up being yours. We're building it right now.

01 — What is Loopwise

A way to learn programming that's small enough to actually finish.

Most courses are built like textbooks — everything you might one day need, stacked up front, in order. Loopwise is built like practice instead. You learn one small thing, try it straight away, make something with it, then move on.

That's the loop, and it's the whole idea. Nobody got good at anything by watching. We'd rather get you writing code in the first minute than have you take notes for an hour and quit on day three.

  1. 01

    Learn something small

    One idea. Two minutes of reading, not two hours of video.

  2. 02

    Try it yourself

    Type it. Break it. Fix it. The editor is right there.

  3. 03

    Build something

    A tiny thing that runs and is yours to keep.

  4. 04

    Move on

    No 40-hour completion bar. Just the next small thing.

then again, slightly harder

02 — Why we're building it

Learning to code shouldn't mean watching someone else code for three hours.

//we've all got a course
// we never finished

You know how it goes. Two hours in, you've typed nothing, you've forgotten the first hour, and the tab quietly joins the other forty.

We don't think that's a you problem, or a Python problem. It's a format problem. So we're keeping lessons short, putting an editor in front of you immediately, and handing you something to build the moment you know enough to build it.

Loopwise exists because we wanted it to exist. Nobody asked us to make it.

03 — What you’ll be able to learn

Languages

We’re starting with two languages and doing them properly. The rest are planned, in roughly this order. Every one of them has a page — open one and see how far along it actually is.

04 — A small glimpse

Roughly what a lesson feels like.

You read two lines. You write four. It runs. Then you change something and it runs again. That's a Loopwise lesson — no 45-minute intro, no setup, no install.

// early build — nearly all of this will look different by the time you see it

05 — What that gets you

Four things we care about more than a feature list.

  • 01

    You're writing code in the first minute

    No install, no environment, no “before we begin”. The editor is in the lesson and it already works.

  • 02

    Lessons end

    Most take a few minutes. You can do one while the kettle boils and still finish it properly.

  • 03

    You keep what you build

    Every few lessons you make something small and real — a script, a page, a game loop. It runs, and it's yours.

  • 04

    You can skip what you already know

    Coming from another language? Start where it gets interesting instead of at “what is a variable”.

06 — Testimonials

We don't have any.

Nobody has used Loopwise yet, so anything here would be made up. When people do use it, their words go in these three spaces — real names, real sentences, and the criticism too.

07 — Pricing

Not set yet.nothing final

Here's the plan, though, so nobody is surprised later. One free tier that's genuinely useful, and one paid tier for the heavier stuff.

Free

and it stays free

£0

A proper free tier, not a seven-day countdown. Enough lessons and projects to learn a language well enough to be dangerous.

  • Core lessons
  • The editor
  • Small projects

Paid, eventually

we haven't decided

TBD

Deeper tracks, bigger projects and the things that cost us money to run. We'll publish the price long before we ever ask anyone for it.

  • Longer tracks
  • Project reviews
  • Everything in Free

People on the waitlist get in first, and get told about pricing before it's public.

08 — Questions

The ones we'd ask.

Something missing? Write to hello@loopwise.dev and a person will reply.

  • We don't know yet. We could put a date here to make this page feel more real, but then you'd be disappointed twice. Everyone on the waitlist finds out first, on the same day.

  • Yes. The first lessons assume you've never written a line. It's also for people who can already code and keep bouncing off a new language — you can skip ahead whenever it gets obvious.

  • Python and JavaScript. Two done properly beats eight done halfway. Roblox Luau, C#, C++, TypeScript, HTML/CSS and SQL come after, and the waitlist gets a say in the order.

  • Mostly not. A few short clips where actually seeing something helps, but the bulk of Loopwise is a small amount of reading and a lot of you typing.

  • No. The editor runs in your browser and it already works. Later on we'll show you how to set things up properly on your own machine, because eventually you should know how.

  • A small team of designers and developers who have each abandoned the same twelve-hour course. We're building the thing we wanted when we started.

  • It sits in a database until launch day, then you get one email. No newsletter, no drip sequence, and we don't sell it. Ask us to remove it and the row is gone.

09 — Coming soon

We're building it.

Want to be there when it launches?

No launch date, no countdown, no clever marketing sequence. Just your email in a list, and one message from us when the thing actually exists.

First thing you want to learn? (optional)

One email, when it's ready. Nothing else, ever.
