Admins are going to love Loops (and Pages).

Want to add a sidebar link to your discord only visible to logged in users?

Or perhaps a Monthly Leaderboard challenge where you describe the rules and update the leaderboard table?

Last but not least, say you need to add an Impressum or the like in the footer.

You can do all of this from the Admin Dashboard, no command line required ✨

Loops Pages unlock endless possibilities for admins to embrace effortlessly.

Loops alpha release will not support the mobile app or federation, rather we will focus on testing and bug fixes for core features and then enable support for the app and federation in the beta phase.

We could be ready for the beta within the same week as the alpha though.

For the beta, it will take time to identify and fix any bugs from these new areas (mobile apis + federation).

We will then proceed towards release candidates after the beta feature freeze and towards the first stable v1 🚀

What happens when Ukraine stops risking lives and starts risking everything on innovation? Ask Russia's cardboard-waving soldiers.

As Putin's forces dug in for traditional siege warfare, Ukraine's Third Assault Brigade dropped the rulebook entirely — launching the planet's first human-free assault without a single Ukrainian boot on the ground.
