# problems.live

> A public directory of problems worth solving, written by the people who
> have them. Post a problem, others validate it with "I have this too,"
> people discuss it, and solutions get proposed, voted on, and shipped.

## Core pages

- [Problems directory](https://problems.live/problems): Every open problem, filterable by category, status, and location.
- [Categories](https://problems.live/categories): The topic taxonomy problems are organised under.
- [Solutions](https://problems.live/solutions): Proposed and shipped solutions across all problems.
- [Leaderboard](https://problems.live/leaderboard): Top contributors by reputation.

## How it works

- A problem is a real, specific difficulty someone has, not a feature request or a solution in disguise.
- Validation ("I have this too") is the one upvote-equivalent signal; it is how demand for a problem is measured.
- Solutions are proposed underneath a problem, discussed, and can be marked accepted once it ships.
- Comments carry threaded discussion on both problems and solutions.
