Why live projects work

The closest thing to a real job before the job

Live projects recreate how teams actually ship software, so the experience transfers straight into your first internship or role.

Real-world briefs

Each project starts with a product spec and acceptance criteria — written like a brief you'd get from an actual product manager.

Ticket-based work

Break the brief into tickets, estimate them, and close them one by one — the same workflow teams use every sprint.

Code & design review

Submit pull requests and get line-by-line feedback, so you learn the habits that pass review on a real team.

Deploy to production

Every project ends on a public URL with a clean README — a link you can drop straight into your resume.

Optional team mode

Pair up or join a small squad to practise branching, merge conflicts and standups — collaboration recruiters look for.

Interview-ready story

We help you frame the trade-offs and decisions you made, so you can answer “tell me about a project” with confidence.

FAQ

Live projects, answered

Tutorials hand you the answer step by step. Live projects hand you a spec and acceptance criteria, then expect you to make the decisions — exactly like real work. The reviews catch what you missed.
