I've been diving into coding at home as I'm trying to find a way to make some money, given my current rough situation. With my mom's inconsistent job and my dad living far away, I can't get a physical job anywhere. I've been checking out Mimo for about a week, and while I love the concept of programming, the app only lets you access intro content for free. It's actually more economical to pay $300 a year than $40 per month, so I'm wondering if Mimo is worth that price.
If it's not, I'm looking for alternatives that fit my budget (ideally no more than $150 a year or $25 per month). I want something hands-on, not just videos, and I need lessons to be under 45 minutes—preferably interactive and able to explain mistakes. I struggle a bit with learning speed and can get overwhelmed easily due to mental health issues, but once I grasp a concept, I'm good to go! I really don't want to waste my money on something that won't help in the long run. So, is Mimo worth it, or are there better options for hands-on learning?

I think Mimo is kinda like Duolingo for coding—it gives you the basics of syntax and coding fundamentals, which feels like progress. But when you try to set up a project on your own later, you might feel stuck since it doesn't really walk you through building real projects. My advice? Pick a hobby or a cool project idea and start digging into it. Look up resources online to help you figure things out and get your projects going from there!
I see what you mean. If Mimo is like that, it might not be worth it for me. I want to focus on site creation and modding, so I'll look for more targeted resources. Thanks for the heads-up!
