The latest Python coding challenge invites participants to enhance the challenge platform by developing a simple API to track the time taken to complete coding challenges, potentially including other metadata like difficulty level and ratings. This initiative arose from participant feedback requesting more insight into the time required for challenges, similar to suggested reading times in articles, to help them improve coding efficiency. The task is divided into three levels of complexity: creating a basic API for tracking time, adding features for storing additional challenge attributes, and integrating authentication with the GitHub API for data validation. Participants are free to use any tools, such as Flask or Django, and are encouraged to explore additional functionalities like a dedicated Slack channel for metadata entry. The best solutions will be featured in the weekly review and on the challenges page, contributing to the platform's evolution by offering more informative insights to its users.
