What if your skills had a scoreboard?
Not just projects sitting in a portfolio. Not self-reported abilities on a resume. But actual battles you've won. Real challenges you crushed. A rank that proves you can deliver under pressure.
That's what Liquidcode gives you.
Frontend developers battle 1v1. Same challenge, different approaches. One week to build. Community votes. Your rank climbs with every win, and suddenly recruiters aren't guessing if you're good. They can see it.
No algorithms. No whiteboard puzzles. Just you, your skills, and something real that people can actually see and judge.
We're still small. Just a handful of developers testing what happens when you stop talking about being good and actually prove it. But that's exactly why this moment matters. Right now, being early means something. Right now, you can actually make your mark.
The Latest Challenge: Markdown Editor
Last week, we dropped the Markdown Editor challenge. Build an editor that handles headings, lists, bold, italics, all the formatting you need. Make it functional. Make it look good. Make it yours.
Simple premise. Endless possibilities.
And here's what happened when developers got their hands on it.
Two Developers, Two Completely Different Visions
Clean interface. Live preview. Menu bar with everything you need right there. It was built exactly as a markdown editor should be: organized, functional, no-nonsense. The kind of tool that gets out of your way and lets you write.
Completely different philosophy. Distraction-free writing experience. Smooth, minimal interface. No markdown knowledge required. Write naturally and download as markdown when you're done. This was built to feel more like publishing than coding.
Same challenge. Same one week timeframe. Totally different solutions.
That's what makes Liquidcode interesting. There's no "correct" answer. Just creativity, skill, and execution.
Now It's Your Turn to Battle the Founder
I'm opening a brand new React contest for the Markdown Editor challenge. But here's the twist: I'm competing too.
First person to join faces me directly. You versus the guy who built this entire platform. One week. Same challenge. Community decides who wins.
Think you can beat me? Think your markdown editor will be better than mine?
Prove it.
Here's what you're building: A markdown editor with headings, lists, bold, italics, and all the standard formatting features. React-based. One week from the moment you join to submit your solution. Then the community votes and we see who actually brought their A-game.
Here's what you get: Win or lose, you earn the Founder Badge. Permanent early adopter status. And I'm not just saying that to sound cool. As Liquidcode grows, that badge unlocks real advantages. Free features. Lifetime perks. The kind of benefits that come from being there at the start.
But more than that? You get to find out if you're actually as good as you think you are.
First Come, First Compete
The contest is live right now. The moment you join, the clock starts. One week to build something that can stand up to what the founder creates.
No waiting. No brackets. No group stages. Just you and me, head to head.

Help Us Build Something Real
Liquidcode isn't trying to be the next massive platform tomorrow. We're building it right. Developer by developer. Battle by battle. Rank by rank.
But we need competitors. We need developers who understand that proving your skills means actually building something, not just talking about what you could build.
Join us. Compete. Help this community grow into something that actually matters.
The first battle slot is waiting. I'm waiting.
What are you waiting for?

Super idea! Love how this moves the conversation beyond interviews and showcases real-world coding battles. The “1v1, same challenge, one week” format is refreshing because it forces you to ship something functional — not just solve a puzzle. Looking forward to how the community evolves and how these rankings actually become meaningful over time. Great read!
