Loop Media: A news article publishing platform without language barriers or algorithms
Loop Media was developed with a bold ambition: to reshape the way people consume and contribute to global content, free from algorithmic bias, linguistic limitations, or ad-driven manipulation.
In a digital world dominated by dopamine-delivering platforms, Loop Media offers a clean break: a decentralized, multilingual publishing space focused on geopolitics, ideas, and connection.
What We Built
We developed a multi-platform content and publishing ecosystem, one where readers and writers around the world can engage directly, without interference from algorithms, filters, or monetization engines.
It was composed of a web platform and an app for iOS and Android.
Web Platform: Developed using React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS, Loop Media offers a sleek, responsive interface that makes discovering global content intuitive and frictionless.
Mobile App: Built in Flutter for both Android and iOS, allowing writers and readers to publish and explore content on the go with native performance.
Back-end: Powered by Firebase, we handled real-time data syncing, scalable user authentication, and seamless content management across platforms.
Ad Network: We connected different third-party ad networks, such as Google Ads, and shared part of the ad revenue with the writers, through a payment processing system integrated using Stripe.
How It Works
Writers get an end-to-end publishing suite without having to manage a blog, deal with SEO, or handle any technical complexities. With just a few clicks, anyone can publish long-form content with international reach.
Readers access thought-provoking articles, essays, and debates from all over the world, without language barriers or algorithmic echo chambers.
All content is presented chronologically, not selectively. No engagement-based curation, no infinite scroll, just meaningful journalism, essays, and ideas.
Why It Matters
The internet has made it easier than ever to communicate, but ironically, most platforms have made communication shallow.
Timelines are engineered for addiction. Algorithms prioritize controversy. Voices are filtered based on what drives ad revenue, not truth or diversity.
Loop Media was built to challenge this.
It provides a space where:
Writers focus on their words, not website building or metrics.
Readers explore raw, unfiltered perspectives across geographies and ideologies.
Communities can debate, reflect, and grow, instead of shouting into curated bubbles.
Who It's For
Independent writers tired of building audiences from scratch.
Thinkers and researchers looking to publish globally without the gatekeeping of traditional media.
Readers who want more than viral content, those craving long-form, critical thought from diverse voices.
Who Built It
Loop Media was brought to life by a diverse, mission-driven team: young creatives, senior developers, and global thinkers committed to reclaiming the internet as a space for real discourse.
Our development team translated that vision into a robust, scalable product that's ready to grow with its community.
We spent over 3 years with this project, participating for one year in Spain's #1 startup accelerator, ranked #7 in all of Europe: Lanzadera.
What Happened Next
There, we were able to reach 300,000 web clicks and over 70,000 app downloads, but it wasn't enough to make the platform profitable.
Fortunately, we saw strong interest from other startups in hiring us for extra help with their development, whether it was apps, websites, or SEO. As an article-publishing platform, we had built some of the best SEO tools for writers.
We started doing jobs on the side for revenue and eventually pivoted fully, transforming from Loop Media into Loop Development, a full-time dev and marketing agency.
Where It Stands Today
Loop Media is still active as a web platform, and we continue to see new writers and readers join. You can check it out here:
