Great idea for a site. I'll try and attempt a challenge or two this weekend.

Quick question, how was this site developed? What technologies are you using? I love the simplicity!

I'm glad you like the idea!

It's a pretty standard Django app. Some bland Docker trickery around generating the actual challenges/problems, but that's probably it. Simplicity was definitely a goal. I wanted to waste the minimal amount of energy on stuff that wasn't directly related to the implementation of the challenges themselves.

I also have this weird idea of keeping the site as JS-free as possible - in homage to... simpler times.
