Very cool idea and implementation! Is it limited to request/response type of challenges and do candidates have to deploy to localhost?

  Thanks! Yes and yes. It is limited to request and response type of challenges and candidates have to deploy on localhost. Because of this limitations though, candidats can choose any language, library or framework and you need not limit yourself to algorithmic questions. A question for example can be "Find the top article on hacker news"

Just a quick feedback from my side: It "feels" to me that this website is empty - that no people use it and that I'd have a hard time finding a developer. Maybe it's just me, but if other people feel the same, you might want to do something about it and give it more "life".

  You mean as in a better design? This was designed by me and I am not that good designer. Will try to make it better

    I think he means more people using it (classic network effect) Maybe put out ads and have as free weekend or something? The idea is that everyone arrives there at the same time for a short period until there's enough people that it's always busy

      Got it! Thanks. Will try. May be eat my own dogfood and try and give it free for anyone who would solve a challenge :)

    Yes, I mean both. You have a traditional chicken and egg problem. And the idea of giving a testing-weekend is very good. But also the design is in my opinion slick and minimalistic, but a bit TOO minimalistic. The design itself does not suggest that people use this website. It looks like an API description or something like that. You put a lot of emphasis on the "how it works" but I, as a user, lack basically opportunities of using the website. I guess if you put "top 5 recent projects" or something on the landing page, people would see instantly that there are other people using this website. Currently, when I visit the page, I feel very alone.
