Frontend Mentor January 2022 review
Hello! We’re already one month down in 2022, and I hope it was a good one for you! We had an interesting month getting started on the work for the hiring platform, which I’m excited to share progress on.
Before I discuss what we’ve been doing, I’m delighted to say January has been a record-breaking month across multiple metrics on Frontend Mentor! Throughout January, we had 19,393 new members register on the site (previous high — 18,458), 44,033 new challenges started (previous high — 39,567), 8,573 solutions submitted (previous high — 7,504), and 7,150 comments posted (previous high — 6,373). It’s incredible to see so many people using the site, taking the challenges, engaging with each other providing code reviews and feedback!
We also saw over 6,000 people join our Slack, taking the number of community members in Slack to over 100,000! ??
The Frontend Mentor community continues to grow at a fantastic rate, making me even more excited about the upcoming hiring platform. This leads in nicely to what we’ve been working on throughout January…

It was an active start to the new year with loads of awesome feedback flying around on the platform! It’s always fantastic to see so many people helping each other out within the community, and this was one of the best months yet ??
Congratulations to Tymur Renhach for finishing in the top spot on the Wall of Fame for January! A big congratulations to Anosha Ahmed and darryncodes for finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively. You’ve all got lovely shiny new Mentor of the Month badges on your profiles!
As mentioned above, Zero To Mastery are sponsoring February’s Mentor of the Month. So the top 3 for February will earn badges and a free one-month subscription to the Zero To Mastery learning platform!
As always, a big thanks to everyone who gave feedback and support to other community members throughout the past month. Giving code reviews is not only a great help to other people and a brilliant way to meet other community members, but it’s also incredible for your own learning.
Reading other people’s code, analysing it, and giving constructive feedback will really help boost your skills and reinforce your knowledge. Giving code reviews is a crucial part of being a professional developer, so reviewing other people’s solutions is a perfect place to practise giving helpful feedback to others!
With the hiring platform on the horizon, it’s also worth noting that the code reviews you give to others on the platform will play a big part in where you appear on the developer search results. Your code reviews for other people will be an incredible way to display your knowledge. This will help hiring managers get a detailed insight into you as a developer by reviewing your solutions and reading your code reviews.
