There’s a good introduction on our site to one of the open-source looping projects at [Loop: Getting Started](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/loop-getting-started/2216) and my story is at [How I got started on Loop](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/how-i-got-started-on-loop/3540)

They aren’t that good yet, but I’m looking forward to something like that in the future. I’m vaguely toying with the idea of attempting it myself, but coding into a large system like LOOP is nothing like any software I’ve written before.
