Practice Duet

Practice Duet is a planned universal coding interview practice platform where candidates solve pair-programming-style coding prompts in a browser-based editor derived from the VS Code experience.

Current Understanding (Living Summary)

This repository is currently in planning mode. Based on current discussion, the intended product direction is:

• Primary use case: candidates practice common coding interview questions.
• Editor experience: VS Code-like, browser-based coding workflow.
• Backend stack: Ruby on Rails.
• Realtime UX: interactive/live updates (framework detail still to be finalized).
• AI support: evaluate submitted solutions and provide actionable feedback.
• Language scope: intended to support multiple programming languages ("universal"), with exact v1 scope to be confirmed.
• Platform packaging: fully Dockerized for development and runtime/deployment.

Planning Process

We are using PLANNING.md as the single source of truth for discovery questions and answers.

Workflow:

1. Questions are tracked in PLANNING.md.
2. As answers are provided, they are recorded directly under each question.
3. This README.md is updated after each answered question so it reflects the latest agreed understanding.

Status

• Architecture and delivery plan are not finalized yet.
• Open decisions are being actively captured and resolved in PLANNING.md.

Immediate Next Step

Start by answering Question 1 in PLANNING.md (primary launch user) and then roll that decision into this README summary.
