  • GIF-Browser

  • about a year ago, I got a take-home task as part of an interview where I had to implement a GIF Browser (https://github.com/TheWhiteWolf02/GIF-Browser). The requirements were to load the first 25 trending GIFs from Giphy and if the user scrolls, then load the next 25 ones, and so on. Users can also click on the GIF to go to a detailed view where a little more info about it is displayed. Unit tests were mandatory. There wasn't any specific design-related requirement. As far as I remember, those were all. The feedback I got was that the app's performance was not very good, with stuttering and even crashing.

  • Much more recently, I had to implement an app where users can see all the charging stations on a map (https://github.com/TheWhiteWolf02/ChargingStationsProject). Clicking on a particular icon of the stations would take the user to a detailed page with some more info. Unit tests were mandatory here too; as well as the usage of the Combine framework as a nice-to-have. No design-related requirement here either.

  • I’d highly advise people to keep their take home assessments simple because doing more won’t make them hire you. I did more for one take home assessment and they still went with someone else, so don’t take it too hard OP. Here’s the assessment I did: https://github.com/jcook03266/Pokedex
