What if you could draw your thoughts in technical interviews?
A lot of people like drawing out their approach as they work through coding challenges, and that usually involves using a pen/paper or your iPad. Even some of the best tech interview related products like AlgoExpert (which I highly recommend using) end up showing you how to work through problems by drawing on a (digital)whiteboard. This got me thinking, why dont we have a single place to code, draw, and video chat with another person? I decided to build that.
Interview Sandbox is an app that came out of the desire for a place to practice, pencil, and perform without having to have a split screen, or to spend time drawing on a piece of paper and showing your interviewer your thoughts. The app is pretty simple, you create your sandbox (no login needed!) and share your link with anyone else, to get them on the same page. They can see your code in real time, see your drawings in real time, and you can chat with them too. After you’re done, just save the link for future reference. That’s it.
The app is currently in v1 so there may be some quirks and some bugs, but I will be ironing those out and it should get better with each successive use! Oh and if you have any feedback on how it can get better, I would love to hear. Just leave a comment.
