Honepad

Local CLI for public practice problems.

Timed desks. You implement methods, run public tests, and unlock the next level. Python 3, Java, C#, Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, and C++ run on Linux, macOS, native Windows, and Windows WSL. The other language runners are tested on Ubuntu Linux.

This tree ships public practice problems only. It does not include live assessment items. It is not affiliated with any interview vendor.

Install

pip install honepad

Homebrew (tap, then trust on Homebrew 6+):

brew tap honepad/tap
brew trust honepad/tap
brew install honepad/tap/honepad

Scoop (add the org bucket first):

scoop bucket add honepad https://github.com/honepad/scoop-bucket
scoop install honepad/honepad

pip is the primary channel. Homebrew and Scoop install the same PyPI/GitHub Release wheel. There is no winget package yet (that needs a Windows portable archive).

From a clone:

git clone https://github.com/honepad/honepad.git
cd honepad
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -e ".[dev]"

Start a desk

honepad start bank_system python3

That opens a live console. 1 runs public tests. 2 submits and unlocks the next level. q quits.

honepad langs lists catalog languages. The last column is runner or no-runner.

Scope

These seven languages have a runner on Linux, macOS, native Windows, and WSL: Python 3 (python3), Java (java), C# (csharp), Go (go), JavaScript (javascript), TypeScript (typescript), and C++ (cpp). honepad langs --check shows which toolchains are on PATH.

honepad start bank_system python3
honepad run bank_system --lang python3

Install the matching toolchain on that machine: a JDK for Java (javac and java), dotnet for C#, go for Go, node for JavaScript and TypeScript, and a C++ compiler (c++, g++, clang++, or MSVC cl) for C++.

The other 31 runners are tested on Ubuntu CI.

Catalog ids without a runner: objc, vb, angular-ts, react-js, react-ts, vue-js, vue-ts, mysql, postgresql, mssql, hack, mongodb.
