The latest CodeInterview improvements are now live – just released diagnostics for TypeScript and JavaScript (with more to come!); color assignment for candidates and interviewers; and finally markdown support in question templates.
These improvements remove friction in the interview process, making things less stressful and helping you focus on uncovering great talent.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s new:
1. Diagnostics for TypeScript and JavaScript
Syntax errors are now highlighted so candidates can quickly fix their code – Popular editors like Visual Studio work in the same way.
This prevents minor issues from interfering with the candidate’s performance, helping you focus on core problem-solving abilities.
We’re currently expanding this functionality to other languages like C, C++, C#, Go, Ruby and Python.
2. Color assignment
Color isn’t just for aesthetics; it’s a tool to enhance readability and focus. Recognizing this, we’ve revamped the color assignment within our code editor, enhancing legibility and making it easier to identify whether it’s the interviewer or the candidate active on the screen.
3. Markdown support in question templates
It’s now easy to format your questions and solutions when creating templates. Markdown support helps you create crisp, clear, and structured assessments.
Add headings, highlight text, mathematical equations and create tables that cleanly present data. This ensures a pleasant and organized experience for both interviewers and candidates.
You can learn more and see markdown examples in this article.
Finally, that’s it for September. Your feedback remains our North Star, guiding us in making informed decisions and shaping the future of CodeInterview.
Thank you for being a part of the CodeInterview community and stay tuned for more exciting updates!
