YESSSS
LOL! That was exactly my reaction!
LOOOOL @afif
Looking forward to seeing folks for the first challenge
What an awesome idea! Challenges, in my experience at least, usually inspire people to do the best they can. Which means that we'll probably see some really impressive stuff on DEV!
I've always wanted to join a coding challenge (to at least be a part of it, I doubt I'd ever win XD), but they seemed very complicated to register for and hard to find info on. This will hopefully simplify that process a lot!
Anyway, can't wait for the first challenge!
Keep up the good work, DEV!
These will be very simple but allow for creativity.
As we progress we may sprinkle in some "more involved" challenges, but to start these will be things which can be done in a single sitting and it will be really easy to enter.
Awesome! I can't wait for the first one. 😄
Great initiative!!!
Hope to see you participating!
No doubts about it 😊
Fabulous
Curious about the next challenges to see how inspiring they are ;-p
If you have ideas for challenges yourself let us know, we'll definitely be looking for inspiration.
Where should we post them ?
We'll circle back with an official place to leave suggestions next week.
In the meantime feel free to reply here 😄
I gues that would be cool to promote DEV.to API and datas through a dedicated kind of hackathon to celebrate the platform, its community and its potential thanks to its awesome and open APIs 🤗
Oh good call
Indeed and we have deeply integrated these data so I could build and sotytell something around it
Love this, will be great to see the stuff people make 🤩
This one is definitely up your alley, so looking forward to your submission 😄
Looking foward for the first challenge! Pretty excited to try my best and see what everyone is able to do. It's going to be an excellent way to learn.
Very well put Michelle
Sure, Michelle! I love to work on that kind of project and I also learn a lot by seeing what others are doing! We'll have a great time!
This is going to be fun 🍿😉
Excited for the challenge!! Let's see how it goes
Can’t wait to see your submission
Thank you, Ben!! I'm equally excited for you to see it.
Will these challenges lean more towards codepen-style creativity or endless hours of hackathons type?
Much more of the codepen-style creativity.
Everyone should be able to submit a valid entry with less than an hour of work for most prompts.
Our reason for multiple prompts is that maybe we'll sometimes have more intensive challenges, but generally these will be simple challenges where a bit of creative inspiration is more important than hours and hours of work.
Got it.
Most people fall into this category(dedicating an hour), so I am expecting more fun and engagement.
So so siked for these challenges! Lotta potential to incorporate these into what we're doing. 😀
It will be fun !!
We want challenge to be some real world problem
to see different approaches
I'm not the artsy type, so I doubt I'd do well with unicorns, but I'd love to try my hand at some real world problems.
Just out of my curiosity, what would you describe as real world problems (no wrong answers)
I suspect we already have a prompt in this challenge which is, in fact, more "real world" than the unicorns, but I'd love to hear your perspective on the matter.
Hmmmmm. Good question. Well, I would say situations that the average web developer, in the average days work, would run into. Now, I'm not saying it's impossible that, in the line of work, a developer would need to make a unicorn with CSS, but it seems highly unlikely. The loading animation, on the other hand, seems to be very real world.
You see, my main interest in these challenges is that they are a learning opportunity.
(Thanks for your response by the way).
I dont mean next YouTube or Facebook
I just want a problem statement which is interesting and motivating, like create a small drawing app for a specific use case or any other which have potential to help someone a little bit
Hmmm
You are right but I want a problem statement which is interesting and very creative.
Thanks for reading :)
A drawing app sounds great!
I'm a new member of the community (and new to software development too). Am I still eligible to join???
Yup!
count me in!
Holding you to that!
Great idea looking forward to the challenges
Hope to see your submission Mohammed

I am not experienced at all with coding but I can't wait for this to be my first try at it.
This sounds fire!
Wow this is phenomenal!
coool
Today I joined Dev.to and got news about front end challenges. Good news at first day! I am so excited!!!
une bonne intiative

Is anyone else finding this hard to read? The font is lovely but it’s taking me a minute to figure out what I’m reading. 😅
