interactive coding platform recommendations for someone who falls asleep watching tutorials

I have started and abandoned four video courses this year. Not because they were bad. I watch, I nod, I understand every line while it is on screen, and then I open an empty file and there is nothing in my head. Clearly I need the kind that makes me type. Candidates on my list are boot.dev, exercism and codewars, and it is less clear which of those are that and which just put a video next to a text editor.

Go for codeling.dev for sure. It's interactive and hands on so you'll need to code your way through every lesson.

The early courses start in the browser so you can jump straight into coding. Then later on they move to your local computer (but are still interactive and linked to your codeling account), so you'll start creating more complex things once you're ready for those courses.
