      <description>&lt;p&gt;I built a competitive coding platform — and just launched a tournament with prizes&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hey Dev.to community&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I've been quietly building Algoora — a competitive coding platform where &lt;br&gt;
developers can sharpen their algorithmic thinking through live tournaments.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why I built it&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wanted a place where programmers of all levels could compete, learn from &lt;br&gt;
each other, and actually have fun solving algorithm problems — not just grind &lt;br&gt;
LeetCode in isolation. So I built it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What Algoora is&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Algoora hosts competitive coding tournaments where you solve algorithm &lt;br&gt;
problems against other developers in real time. Whether you're a student &lt;br&gt;
prepping for interviews, switching careers into tech, or just love a good &lt;br&gt;
coding puzzle — there's a place for you here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First prize tournament is live now&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I just launched a new tournament and I want the dev community to try it out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Place&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Prize&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;🥇 1st&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;1,500 coins&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;🥈 2nd&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;1,000 coins&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;🥉 3rd&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;500 coins&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Free to enter. No catch.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://algoora.vercel.app/compete/6a2552cd15742d422471f287" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Join the tournament here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Would love your feedback&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is still early and I'm actively improving the platform. If you join and &lt;br&gt;
notice anything — bugs, UX issues, ideas — drop a comment below or message me &lt;br&gt;
directly. Honest feedback means everything at this stage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Good luck to everyone who joins &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Built with passion by a developer who just wanted a better place to compete.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
