Code coach solution exchange?

Question

Hello learners :)

I am working through the code coach in a new language, just finished the freely available "easy" tasks. I made them all work, but some are not very elegant, and I'm sure there's better solutions out there.

Before I move on to "medium" challenges, I'd like to review alternative options, to be sure I have a good and deep understanding of the "easy" problems.

I saw that some people raised very good suggestions, to make other solutions visible to those who already achieved solutions on their own. But in absence of that:

I assume it's discouraged to share solutions in the forum, as people who didn't solve yet, could just copy / paste to get the XP.

So I'm wondering if it makes sense to create a thread in which people who want to exchange solutions privately could find each other?

For example:

If you are looking to exchange solutions for X challenge in Y language, post your request. Once you're tired of receiving PMs about it, delete your post.

Does that sound good to anybody?

Answer 1

It looks good, but ones who don't solve it could still get into the thread as we cannot confirm whether they complete the challenges or not.

I recommend you email your suggestion to [e-mail] to get the features directly.

Answer 2

CarrieForle you can see in people's profiles which challenges they solved. So you wouldn't send them the screenshot of your solution in a private message if you see in their profile that they don't have one to send you in exchange.

Not a perfect solution, but I think it could work?

Answer 3

It will, but too inconvenient. After all, some users don't like getting private messages. This can cause DMs increasing insanely.

You also need to find a user randomly and hope they have solve the problems and willing to provide his solutions.

SoloLearn can simply add this features if they agree and want to.

Answer 4

Ok, maybe I didn't make it clear - - > I am not implying that I will randomly look for people who have the solutions I'm interested in and message them. I don't like unsolicited messages either!

I was imagining to post inside this thread and say: "I solved xxx, does anyone want to share their solution in a PM?"

So only people who want PMs would post here.

And then if somebody sees my post and sends me a message with their solution, I check on their profile that they did in fact solve it, then I send them my solution.

And once I'm happy with the solutions I reviewed, I delete my post, so that I stop getting more messages with the same solution.

But yeah, maybe too messy... That's why I asked first, to check what other people think of the idea 🙈.

Seems like a missed opportunity to learn from peers.
