Run Live Coding Interviews in Your Browser

What is a live coding interview?

A live coding interview is a technical assessment where a candidate writes code in real-time, often sharing their screen or using a collaborative editor. Companies use them to evaluate logic, problem-solving skills, and how developers think under pressure.

Problems with traditional coding interview tools

Most companies rely on fragmented tools like simple text editors or bulky online IDEs. Common pain points include:

• Setup Friction: Spending 10 minutes just getting the candidate onto the platform.
• Switching between tools: Popping between a video call and an editor.
• Unrealistic Environment: Using editors that don't feel like a real developer setup.
