Skillhacker

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm launching Skillhacker — a simple platform where developers can test their knowledge, practice, and see how they stack up against the average.

🤔 Why I built this

Personal pain, honestly. I've been through dozens of technical interviews, and every time I got an invite, I'd feel this gnawing uncertainty: "Do I actually know my stuff? What are my blind spots? How do I compare to other mid-level/senior devs out there?"

There are tons of question banks and LeetCode-style platforms, but I couldn't find something simple that would:

• Let me quickly test myself without committing to a 2-hour coding session

• Show me where I stand compared to others (am I above average? below? where are my gaps?)

• Give me a focused practice mode to drill weak spots before an interview

So I built it.

🛠 What's inside (MVP)

• Quiz format: Multiple-choice questions (4 options) across different tech stacks

• Two modes:

  • 🎯 Testing mode — take a test, get your score, see how you compare to the community average

  • 💪 Practice mode — drill questions, learn from mistakes, focus on weak areas

• Benchmarking — see your level vs. the average participant

It's early stage, focused on the core loop: test → benchmark → practice → improve.

🚀 What's next

• More tech stacks and difficulty levels

• Detailed analytics (your weak topics, progress over time)

• Community features (leaderboards, study groups)

💬 I'd love your feedback

Since I'm targeting the US/EU market, I'm especially curious:

• Would you use this before interviews? What's missing?

• What tech stacks should I prioritize? (Started with JS/TS, Python, SQL)

• Is the benchmarking angle valuable, or do you prefer pure practice?

Be brutal — I need honest feedback to make this actually useful.
