Show HN: Open-Source Interview Platform

CoderScreen is an open-source coding interview platform offering live pair programming and async technical assessments. It is built on Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, and Sandbox for code execution. The creator seeks feedback on the platform and thoughts on the future of hiring in the AI era.

Background

CoderScreen is an open-source platform for technical interviews, offering live pair-programming and asynchronous coding assessments. It runs on Cloudflare's infrastructure (Workers, Durable Objects, Sandbox). The project enters a market dominated by proprietary platforms like HackerRank, LeetCode, and Codility, which are widely criticized for relying on algorithmic puzzles that don't reflect real engineering work. The "Show HN" post invites feedback on the tool and broader questions about hiring — specifically whether interviews should incorporate AI coding assistants (like GitHub Copilot) or shift toward take-home projects. This reflects a growing debate about how to fairly evaluate developers in an era when anyone can write code with AI help, and whether the traditional "whiteboard" or timed coding challenge is still relevant.
