Introducing IO Combats — A Battleground for Frontend Engineers 🧠⚔️

Frontend engineers don’t need another tutorial.

They need real-world practice.
They need challenges.
They need a place to build, showcase, and grow.

That’s exactly why I’m building IO Combats (https://www.iocombats.com) — a platform built for frontend devs to:

✅ Practice UI challenges
✅ Build using any framework of their choice
✅ Get a public developer profile with analytics + project history
✅ Prepare for interviews with curated coding challenges (coming soon)
✅ Discover frontend-focused jobs (coming soon)

🎯 What’s launching first?

  1. UI Challenges
    You’ll get clean, professional designs to build — not random Dribbble clones. You can pick any framework you like (React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, plain HTML/CSS — your call).

  2. Shareable Dev Profiles
    Every submission gets saved to your personal IO Combats profile.

Whether you're brushing up on skills or prepping for interviews, these challenges are designed to be practical, test your layout skills, responsiveness, and real-world thinking.

You'll be able to:

Showcase your projects

View analytics (completion time, tech used, performance)

Share your profile with hiring managers or on social media

This isn’t just about practice.
It’s about proof of work.

🚀 Why I’m Building This
As a frontend engineer with 11+ years of experience, I’ve seen how hard it is to go beyond tutorials and really practice — the kind of practice that actually matters in interviews or on real projects.

You either end up:

Copy-pasting projects from YouTube

Wasting time on random challenges with no feedback

Or building your own practice setup from scratch

So I thought: why not create one platform that does it right?

🔥 Want to be a Beta Tester?
The first version of IO Combats (with UI Challenges + Dev Profiles) is launching soon.
I’m currently building it in public and dropping a teaser video here and on LinkedIn.
