Thanks!

At the moment anyone who finishes a challenge can post in the Slack community for others to see and comment on. The next stage will be to build out a web app where users can submit solutions for others to view and comment on.

The problem with including a solution is that I don't want it to become a crutch. It would be too easy for people to just look at the solution when they hit an issue, instead of debugging and asking questions. My aim for the challenges is for people to learn by using a real-life workflow, so having a solution available doesn't feed into that.

Perhaps when the web app is up there could be some notion of "Done", at which point a solution would be made available.

I'm open to ideas on this, because I've been going over it a lot and talking to users and still not found a good path.
