In early 2025, people were upset that NLnet was funding Loops and the source code wasn't public yet*. So after attending FediCon in August of 2025, I came home and began writing the server for Loops, and a new mobile app, both shipped in October/November of 2025. In March 2026, Loops shipped Starter Kits and Mastodon took our implementation and built Featured Collections! https://blog.joinloops.org/introducing-starter-kits/ * - We didn't get paid until the source was public btw
