Show HN: We built a free LeetCode Alternative in 15 spoken languages
A free, open-source alternative to LeetCode was developed, supporting 15 spoken languages for coding practice. The platform aims to make technical interview preparation more accessible globally.
Background
- LeetCode is the dominant platform for practicing coding interview questions (especially "data structures and algorithms" problems) used by software engineers preparing for Big Tech (FAANG) interviews.
- SharpSkill.dev is a free, open-source alternative that translates the same style of coding challenges into 15 spoken languages — both the problem descriptions and the interface — plus supports writing solutions in 15 programming languages.
- The project addresses two pain points: LeetCode's subscription paywall (Premium features) and the overwhelming English-centric interface for non-native speakers prepping for technical interviews.
- "Show HN" posts are project launches on Hacker News (Y Combinator's social news site for tech), where founders share their work for community feedback.
