TAKE‑HOME ASSIGNMENT

— Internship Edition
Time budget: ≈ 4–5 h of focused work
Submission: GitHub repo + live/demo link within 72 h of receiving this brief

Pick ONE of the two mini‑challenges below (Web or Mobile).

Both re‑introduce a very small e‑mail / password auth flow and use a completely FREE "auto‑summary" API—no credit
card or API key needed.

A. Full‑Stack Mini‑Challenge: "Link Saver


+ Auto‑Summary"
Must‑have user stories
Sign‑up / Login

Basic e‑mail + password form


Hash the password (bcrypt, Argon 2, etc.) and store locally (SQLite / Mongo / Supabase / IndexedDB)
Issue a JWT or session cookie on login
Hint: External authentication libraries like Firebase Authentication or Supabase Auth can also be used to simplify
implementation

Save a bookmark

Paste any URL → fetch and store title & favicon (hint: document.title, /favicon.ico, OpenGraph tags, etc.)

Generate summary (no paid key)

Call Jina AI open endpoint (see Appendix A)


Save the returned text alongside the bookmark

List & view

Responsive list/grid of saved links with title, favicon and summary text
Delete bookmark button

Nice‑to‑have (optional, not graded harshly)

Tag filter
Drag‑drop re‑order
Dark mode

Tech guard‑rails (pick your comfort)

Front‑end: React, Next.js, SvelteKit…


Back‑end: Node/Express, Next API routes, FastAPI…
DB: SQLite, MongoDB, Supabase or even localStorage for demo

B. Mobile Mini‑Challenge: "Three‑Screen


Workout Tracker"
Must‑have user stories
Auth screen – e‑mail/password saved securely on‑device (SecureStore/MMKV/KSec)
Hint: External authentication libraries like Firebase Authentication can also be used to simplify implementation
Home – list 3 hard‑coded workouts
Detail – show exercises; "Start" runs a simple timer that auto‑advances
History – log completed workouts locally and render a weekly calendar or list

Nice‑to‑have (optional)

Dark mode
Voice TTS cues
Export to Google Fit / Apple Health

Tech guard‑rails

React Native (Expo) ‑‑OR‑‑ Flutter


Local persistence: SQLite, Hive, MMKV, etc.
Remote sync is optional

SUBMISSION CHECKLIST
☐ Public (or private‑invite) GitHub repo
☐ Live link (Vercel / Netlify / Render / Expo Snack / Flutter Web / TestFlight / APK)
☐ Clear README: tech stack, setup, "what I'd do next," and how long you spent
☐ 2–5 screenshots or a short GIF
☐ At least a couple of unit / component / widget tests
☐ Small, logical commit history (no single "big bang" commit)

EVALUATION RUBRIC
Core functionality met: 40%
Code clarity & structure: 30%
UI / UX polish: 20%
Git & README hygiene: 10%

We value clean, readable code and thoughtful UX over sheer quantity of features.

Note on UI/UX: No Figma designs are provided intentionally. We're evaluating your UI/UX intuition and decision-making.
Focus on creating a simple, intuitive, and visually appealing interface that demonstrates your understanding of good
design principles. You can use any UI component libraries or design systems of your choice.

If you get stuck


Explain the road‑block in a short comment or e‑mail and push what you have—we're as interested in your reasoning as in
the finished product.

Good luck, and have fun building!

Appendix A – Quick‑Start Pointers for the


FREE Jina AI "r.jina.ai" Summarisation
API
Purpose
Public endpoint that returns an extractive summary of any reachable URL. No sign‑up, no key, no cost.

Call shape

GET https://r.jina.ai/http://<URL‑ENCODED_TARGET_PAGE>

Example:

const target = encodeURIComponent(


'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence'
);
const res = await fetch(`https://r.jina.ai/http://${target}`);
const summary = await res.text(); // plain text, not JSON

Things for you to decide (intentionally open)


When/how to URL‑encode
Where to trim the summary (it can be long)
How to persist & display multi‑line text

CORS & limits


CORS enabled → works directly from browsers
Informal limit ≈ 60 calls/hour per IP—handle errors gracefully

Fallback idea (if the API is ever down)

try {
return await getSummary(realUrl);
} catch {
return 'Summary temporarily unavailable.';
}

Happy coding!
