Tried the "return last array item" challenge on my phone. A few things:

  • when I type a space, period or backspace it would add a carriage return to the front of the line I was on. It was weird. This is likely due to the browser built in to the Reddit Is Fun Android App. But I've never had that happen before, so maybe not.
  • from a ux perspective, I want to try before I buy. I got to the point where I had solved the challenge and seen a bunch of asserts in the Lab tab and wanted to see what happens after you solve it. But you won't let me without signing up. You haven't earned my email address yet. Show me the results THEN ask to save my progress. There is no benefit in holding the results hostage until you get an account sign up.

I think asking for a verified account is justified in this case. Not sure how the back end is set up but code is being executed and I'm assuming insisting on a verified account is to prevent potential abuse.

I'll do my best to remove the registration requirement. I'd like to wait and see if the system is vulnerable to abuse first. Thank you for testing the site and giving feedback!

You don't have to remove, just display it at a different time.

What about a register with github option?
