JS Quiz Website

An interactive quiz UI built on top of lydiahallie's popular JavaScript Questions repo. You pick answers to JS tricky-output questions and get immediate feedback. It's a companion project to the original, not a standalone learning resource.

- The source material (javascript-questions) is genuinely good — the quiz format adds interactivity to an already well-regarded reference

- Clean Next.js + Apollo + GraphQL split between client and server gives it a reasonable architecture for what it is

- CodeMirror integration for displaying code snippets is the right call — syntax highlighting matters for JS output questions

- Local storage for progress tracking means you don't need an account to pick up where you left off

- Marked WIP in 2023 and hasn't been touched since — the live URL (jsquiz.now.sh) is almost certainly dead given Vercel retired the now.sh domain

- The server is a thin GraphQL wrapper that just scrapes the questions repo rather than ingesting them properly — fragile and unnecessary indirection

- No tests anywhere in the tree; for a quiz app where correctness of the answer logic is the whole point, that's a real gap

- 46 forks suggests some community interest but there's no sign of active maintenance, PRs being merged, or any roadmap — this looks abandoned
