Reddit Mystery Button

This project was one of the first challenges I faced in the professional world. It was part of an interview process for a company that I applied to back in 2019. The goal was to create a 'Reddit clone' with an imaginary feature for April Fools. I learned a lot from this experience and I’m quite proud of the result given my knowledge at the time. My first job ended up being more back-end oriented, which became my main focus later on. 😊


Problem

The date is March 20, 2015, you're a Reddit employee and you come up with an 'April Fools' prank: To create a section of the page containing a large button and a counter indicating a descending amount of seconds.

The counter descends from 60 seconds to 0 and only resets if someone with the page open presses the button. It can only be pressed once per user and, when a user presses it, a color is assigned as a reminder based on the following table:

Requirement

A single page application that implements the button idea considering the following aspects:

  • The 'click' of the button is an irreversible action.
  • The single page should be minimalistic.
  • Since it is for a joke, nothing about how the button works should be explained explicitly.
  • You can decide how much and what kind of contextual information to provide to the user.
  • Simulate other people's clicks and have everything work offline (with some standard random function).

Extras

In addition, you can apply any of the following:

  • Use Angular 7 as a framework. You can use Angular Material as UX library.
  • Add visualizations for the different events that occur automatically.
  • Add visualizations to indicate the user's color.
  • Keep track of automatic clicks and show some statistics or related visualization.
