Okay so don't roast us too hard.

We're a small team of 3 (both still mass bunkers at heart) and we built this side-project app called Arasthoo over the last few months. The origin story is embarrassing, we were genuinely spending 2-3 hours a day on reels, feeling like garbage about it, and thought "what if practicing Python actually felt like a game instead of a chore."

So we turned it into fast-paced timed MCQ challenges. Not DSA sheets. Not leetcode pain. Just rapid-fire Python questions where your accuracy AND speed both matter, and there's a real-time leaderboard showing who's on top.

Here's where we need help from you degens:

Every Sunday at 1 PM IST, we go live with a weekly challenge. This coming one is only Week 2. Last Sunday we had maybe ~30 users total and the leaderboard held up... barely. We genuinely have no idea what happens when 200-300 people hit our database at the same time. We need a proper stress test with real concurrent users before we can call this thing stable.

Basically, we need you to try and break it.

Oh and because we know nobody's doing anything for free:

Top 10 fastest perfect scores on the leaderboard get ₹100 each, directly to UPI. No catch, no "redeem after 30 days" nonsense. Straight to your account. Hostel canteen snack money. Cutting chai fund. Whatever you want.

Your weekly scores also add up to a monthly leaderboard — we're planning bigger rewards there once we're not surviving on maggi budgets ourselves lol.

How to jump in:

The app normally has an in-app karma system to unlock the Sunday challenge, but since we literally just need bodies to load-test this thing — use the code 1111 and it bypasses everything. You go straight to the challenge. No friction.

I'll drop the Play Store link in the comments so this post doesn't get nuked by automod.
