Frontend Arena

Hi everyone 👋! My name is Arnold I am a strong believer in hiring people based on skill, not just talk 👌 My past job searches exposed my struggle with self-presentation. Despite knowing I have the skills, it's been frustrating to see opportunities slip away 💀 💡The idea behind Frontend Arena is to create a platform that gives every developer a fair shot at landing a frontend position or freelance gig. Also, it will allow developers to compete and learn from each other, seeing their strengths and weaknesses in action. The biggest winner in all of this is the design owner, who will witness their project come to life in real time🏆 The app is 2 weeks old and completely free to use ✅ I'm eager to hear your feedback! 🥺 Good luck on your entrepreneurial journey 🚀

Oh wow this looks like an interesting way to do contract work! Really interested to see how this works out for your team! 🚀

Smart product ngl!...but bow does the Figma design competition platform ensure a seamless and fair process for developers to showcase their skills with pixel-perfect precision? Can you elaborate on the specific tools or mechanisms in place to evaluate and choose the winning designs, and how users can customize the bounties to align with their specific project requirements?

As a competition platform (for example if you were offering prizes) I think this is an okay idea. As a job interview platform, I think it's a terrible idea. 1. It promotes the idea of spec work, which is broadly recognized as bad: https://www.google.com/search?q=... (counterpoint: https://www.google.com/search?q=...) 2. In the real world, a pixel-perfect design is usually not the right thing. The best product implementations (in my opinion) come from an iterative collaboration between design and development. 3. It encourages speed over quality. Admittedly this is a touchy subject for me personally because I am by nature more focused on doing quality work, and I consequently tend to be a bit slower than others. (This caused a lot of heartache during my recent job search. For example, one interviewer's feedback after a coding challenge was "most people just dive in and start coding, but you took time to plan and organize things." That sounded like a compliment to me, but he meant it as a negative!)

Congrats, I'm also looking forward to seeing such battles, that's must interesting

Congrats on the launch! Seems like a great concept. Excited to see how this will turn out

Going to give this a try, team Frontend Arena. Looks interesting.
