#2A little more information would be great. Very bare bones website. Sounds like something my wife who's learning to code would enjoy but I have no idea what this really is.

Interesting. Seems like you're an engineer, how would you learn new technology in practice?
The website aims to provide a list of projects for people to learn these skills (like uploading a file to AWS).

#5What's the logic behind the current pricing model? Shouldn't you derive much greater LTV from a subscription model?
Also, isn't it too early to monetize? Don't you want to accrue users before introducing premium?
For a Show HN I would have expected the ability to create tasks out of the box.
Also, instead of discouraging users from sharing code, you should embrace it via curation -- let people see other's solutions after they've submitted a solution of sufficient grade, let people code review each other's solutions, lots of low hanging fruit there that could be as simple as some automation on top of a private Github organization.

Do these companies who "contribute" tasks get to see the source code for the submissions?

These tasks are created by us from square one. It helps people really learn important backend and frontend engineering skills.

We have launched it for a while. Thanks for the feedback. The reason we don't show others' solution beforehand it's because it will demotivate people to think hard and solve problems.

That's an old model that we used to plan to work with companies to contribute. Now we're focusing on self-learning and want to help people learn and master real engineering skills.
