Leetcode but for front end devs (terrible idea?)▲8
Howdy friends!

“console.solve”▲9
I started an experimental series, "console.solve", on mini javascript challenges a few months back and received good feedbacks on it. So I created a [second one](https://colintoh.com/console-solve/issue-2?utm_source=colint...) this month. Not sure anyone here will be interested as it's not exactly pro-level stuff. But if you have an hour to spare, it can be a good distraction. For those who are interested, here was the [first challenge](https://colintoh.com/console-solve/issue-1?utm_source=colint...).
