We earlier profiledĀ Programr, aĀ super cool platform thatĀ enables users to write, compile and run piece of code online. The Pune based startupĀ has now pivoted to aĀ crowdsourcing modelĀ for generating interactive coding examples & exercises for its learning zone. Essentially, users now contribute their own bite-sized examples and exercises in 5-10 minutes each.Ā Other users then upvote the good content such that the best content bubbles up to the top in the learning zones.
How has the pivot been working out with Programr?
Cofounder Rajesh Moorjani shares that since this month, Programr have received immense contributions from developers, faculty and students from around the world: 5500+ examples, 1200+ exercises and 700+ projects have been already contributed just in the last 3 weeks. The company expects this to double in the next 2 months.
But what about the quality of the content coming in?
Rajesh mentions thatĀ Programr has a dedicated team of 5 engineers that tests, approves and organizes each piece of contributed contentĀ within 24 hoursĀ of it being contributed.
If you are coder, do give Programr a spin and share your comments. Very recently, Bangalore based CodeLearn raised angel fundingĀ from France based Kima Ventures.
