Why this exists, and what we're trying to get right.
Real 1:1 coding tutoring works - a good tutor asks the right question at the right moment, talks about the code a kid actually wrote instead of a generic example, and makes progress visible. It also isn't affordable for most families, and most "learn to code" apps for kids replace it with something much shallower: a video to watch, or blocks to drag, with no real conversation about the child's own work.
Tiny Coderz tries to replicate the parts of real tutoring that actually work: a kid writes real code, watches it run line-by-line so mistakes are visible instead of abstract, and gets asked a guiding question instead of handed the fix when something goes wrong - the same restraint a good tutor shows. Every lesson is reskinned to whatever the child already loves, because a tutor who knows a kid's interests teaches better than one reading from a fixed script.
Not a video course, not a drag-and-drop toy pretending to be "real coding," and not a product that grades a kid or shows them a scary red error. Mistakes are clues to solve, not failures to report.
Early - genuinely early. The core loop (write code, see it run, get a real hint, teach it back) is built and free to use. We're still adding to it, and we'd rather hear what's not working from real families than guess.
