It’s Friday, which means it’s time to showcase the accomplishments of the talented coders on Career Karma Projects. This week our community members have submitted a range of impressive projects, from an NFL play predictor to an app that helps you track your chores.
We’re excited to announce that we are continuing our promotion with Crash, an online platform that helps job seekers pitch themselves to the best companies. If your project ranks in the top 10 in our weekly spotlight, you’ll receive a free three-month subscription to Crash.
