I am sorry you were disappointed in what you saw in comparison to what you expected. But I think it's very important to get feedback in such an early stage of development, even for a storyboard explaining the idea. This post proved really useful for us.

Either way, thank you for the honest comment :)

Cool. Thank you for your reply. On the layout etc. I think it is great work. I was just ready to test my skills or lack thereof, lol. You know if the synchronous competition proves to be tough you could log metrics for certain exercises and use statistics like standard deviation etc. so people can now how they stack up to everyone else. This may also shed some light on the relative difficulty of certain exercises for the population as a whole.

Ex. large standard deviation wide bell curve would mean there is a major disparity among the understanding of a concept for developers that use the site. A small standard deviation and tight bell curve would represent a more consistent understanding level among the sample population. I am assuming time being the main metric. You could also use the code quality as a metric also.
