CodenQuest▲282Hello everyone, I've been working on a project called CodenQuest, a coding practice app inspired by platforms like LeetCode, but with a major twist: it's heavily gamified, similar to Duolingo. The main goal is to make coding practice more engaging, especially on mobile. Key Features: - Diverse coding questions with integrated hints and timers. - Code editor with code completion and fill in the blanks questions - Performance statistics (runtime, memory, CPU usage, and more). - Gamified elements: leagues, ranking systems, daily challenges, friends, and streak mechanisms. - Available on iOS and…

Agent Arena▲348Creator here. I built Agent Arena to answer a question that kept bugging me: when AI agents browse the web autonomously, how easily can they be manipulated by hidden instructions? How it works: 1. Send your AI agent to ref.jock.pl/modern-web (looks like a harmless web dev cheat sheet) 2. Ask it to summarize the page 3. Paste its response into the scorecard at wiz.jock.pl/experiments/agent-arena/ The page is loaded with 10 hidden prompt injection attacks -- HTML comments, white-on-white text, zero-width Unicode, data attributes, etc. Most agents fall for at least a few.…

I’ve been using AI to generate some repetitive frontend (guilty), and while most outputs felt vibe-coded, some results were surprisingly good. So I cleaned it up and made a ranking game out of it with friends, and you can check it out here: https://www.designarena.ai/vote /vote: Your prompt will be answered by four random, anonymous models. You pick the one you prefer and crown the winner, tournament-style. /leaderboard: See the current winning models, as dictated by voter preferences. /play: Iterate quickly by seeing four models respond to the same input and…

I'm Vivek, co-founder/CEO of HackerRank (YC S11); You may know us as a hiring tool for developers/companies. Over the years, we have built up deep expertise in generating programming challenges, and we are now using that to make coding models better. Our first launch is Model Kombat -- an arena where you can directly compare anonymized coding models, side by side, on real problems. * Pick an arena (Java, Python, etc.) * Each battle has 3 rounds: see the problem + two model outputs -> vote on which you’d actually prefer * Leaderboards + problem statements are updated weekly. We…

Hello everyone, We just launched a side-project we have been building over the last couple of months -- Coderoulette is a pair programming game for developers, like a Chatroulette for hackers. We match developers in real time and give them coding challenges they have to solve doing pair programming using a collaborative IDE and video conference. You can check it out here: https://www.coderoulette.com/ We also published an article explaining how we built it. I'd love to hear your feedback.…

I'm Varun, CEO of Exafunction, and we just released Codeium to open up access of generative AI to all developers for free. In the spirit of Show HN, we created a playground version for anyone to try this tech in the browser (click Try in Browser)! We have built scalable, low-latency ML infra for many top AI companies in the past, and we are excited to leverage that tech into a product that we, as developers, would love. We hope that you do too, and we would appreciate any feedback that this community has for us!
