App is deployed at https://cs3219-48-peerprep.herokuapp.com/.
PeerPrep is a web application that helps students prepare for whiteboard style technical interviews. PeerPrep provides a peer learning platform where students can match up with peers depending on difficulty in order to practice technical interview questions. Peerprep comes with a collaborative editor, chatbox as well as a question bank that users can access to see all the available questions.

Select a difficulty. Here we selected “hard”. Then click the “Start Coding” button.

The match will start and a countdown from the 30s will begin. If you have a friend, get him to queue up as well for the “hard”.

However, if after 30s you still have yet to be matched you will be presented with 2 choices. EIther change the difficulty you are queueing for or queue again.
