Ooops – @setAnnotations:

Chrome: "TypeError: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined"

Safari: "TypeError: 'undefined is not an object (evaluating 'f.text.replace')"

Firefox: "TypeError: f.text is undefined"

Not exactly advertising competence in JS ... (Wasn't there any testing?)

Aside from the code tester not working properly, their branding and design are ignorant and overzealous. "Katas"? an Ensō? It's code, chill out.

I actually liked the design. There is always someone who looks at a "Show HN" just to tear it down though.

Thanks for all the feedback - we got caught in the middle of a performance upgrade so the sites code challenge engine isn't working under load right now.

The first Javascript kata fails with an unknown error, even if the code is correct. You probably want to fix this bit too: http://imgur.com/KqYuCHn Also, if your browser window is too narrow it suddenly thinks you're on a mobile device and ceases to work.

Wow! We had no idea someone would be posting about us on HN today. We were not prepared. The site has been scaled up and it should working now. UPDATE : I was a bit hasty with my original comment. There was a regression bug that was still causing the landing page to be broken. A fix has been deployed and things should be working now.

I got to the final one then it just refreshes when I submit my solution (Note: I have to click JS rather than Submit or I get "Unknown Error").

I don't know what this is, but apparently I'm "enlisted" now... The design on the site looks really cool, though.

I dig it! Didn't get any of the errors everyone else here seems to be experiencing (Chrome on Win, v27). Looking forward to more of this. Nice job.

It's kind of funny.

Check out rubymonk.com, seemed like a similar idea.
