+[![Open in Gitpod](https://gitpod.io/button/open-in-gitpod.svg)](https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/kowainik/learn4haskell)
+
+[Gitpod](https://www.gitpod.io/) is a VSCode-based Web IDE.
+With it, you can get a Haskell environment out-of-the-box.
+It's free to use up to 50 hours per month.
+
+Just prepend `gitpod.io#` to your repo URL and you are ready to go.
+It will take some time to initialize the workspace for the first time it opens.
+It only keeps changes under `/workspace`, and it will be deleted after a period of inactivity unless it's pinned.
+
 ### How to develop
 
 The course assumes that you install Haskell tooling (GHC and Cabal), edit code
