About
This all started three years ago when I created a website about 100 Days of Code, and a few people signed up for the entire program. What was it about? I wanted to put together a set of questions that combined problem-solving skills in data structures with web development concepts. If you visit the website, you'll find that I included two examples to illustrate this.
However, the issue was how I could provide a development platform like LeetCode alongside the problem statements, so you wouldn’t have to set up a million things just to practice a brain teaser. Also, if you wanted to share it with others, it should be easy.
On a bright summer afternoon of 2025, Anurag discovered this website and noticed that people had already signed up for it. He suggested, "Why don’t we deliver a platform?" So, we spent the entire summer working on it together and created Playgroundish.
Roadmap
Now, let's discuss what we want to do with Playgroundish and what lies ahead. For now, our goal is to refine the experience and deliver the core functionalities for problem-solving and sharing. In addition, we aim to provide a dedicated platform to test problem-solving skills, with a primary focus on the web development domain.
What you can expect in future from Playgroundish:
- Full-fledged projects to clarify complex concepts about the internal workings of JavaScript, modern web technologies, and real-world software.
- Self-paced courses to help you progress and level up your skills in building better, faster, and more optimized software.
- Sandboxes that allow you to create your own problems and invite others to solve them.
Engineering
With Playgroundish, our goal is not just to create another wrapper around CodeSandbox (which we are using for now), but to build a truly transparent, community-driven open-source alternative to sandboxed environment providers.
To achieve this, we are working on a containerization solution for packaging Node.js environments in the browser. In addition, we will be sharing other development-enhancing libraries to help build better, more efficient web-based software.
Conclusion
We strive to create a helpful community for developers who want to collaborate and grow together.
Keep in mind that we are actively working on this project and will continue iterating to provide a better experience. Lastly, thank you to everyone who supported us in bringing Playgroundish to life!
Meanwhile, feel free to contact us with suggestions—or even just to say hi!
