  This past weekend, Erik Isaksen, Adi Chikara and I built this app for the Static Showdown hackathon with AngularJS and Firebase. The idea is that anyone can issue a challenge, invite their friends, and compete in real time to solve a randomly selected programming problem. Spectators can watch a challenge and see the contenders working in real time, right in the browser. We're calling it CodeOut.

  While there are a few obvious missing features that we didn't have time to complete inside 48 hours, like code evaluation and scoring, the basic idea is up and running (bugs and all). You can see it in action here: http://ss14-team-144.divshot.io/. Erik also made this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gurIfcMZq14

  HN, we'd love your feedback and support to win "Crowd Favorite". If you like this app, please help us out by tweeting: https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=http%3A%2F...

  It was a great time and it's a project we really enjoyed working on and will continue working on.
