"I realised frontend developers were forced to piece together their interview preparation from multiple websites, and I wanted to build one place dedicated to frontend interviews," says Arvind M, founder of FrontendPrep.
Arvind M spent over 7 years on both sides of the frontend interview table, first as a candidate, later as an interviewer. Somewhere in between, friends and fellow developers began asking him the same questions on repeat: what do frontend interviews actually look like, what should they expect, how should they prepare. Answering those questions one conversation at a time eventually turned into something bigger.
A problem stitched together from too many tabs
The gap Arvind kept running into was not a lack of resources, it was the lack of a single place to find them. Developers preparing for frontend roles were bouncing between separate websites, blogs and videos just to cover JavaScript fundamentals, React patterns, system design and coding challenges. Each piece existed somewhere. None of it lived together, and stitching a study plan out of scattered sources meant developers were spending nearly as much time hunting for material as they were actually preparing.
That fragmentation is what FrontendPrep set out to fix. Rather than building another general coding interview tool, Arvind built a platform aimed specifically at frontend developers, bringing interview questions, coding challenges, quizzes, learning guides and frontend system design content together under one roof. The pitch is less about adding another resource to the pile and more about removing the need to search for the rest of them. Having sat on the interviewer's side of the table gave Arvind a clearer sense of what actually gets tested in a frontend interview versus what candidates often waste time over-preparing for, and that distinction shaped which topics the platform leans into most.
From hobby project to a platform developers actually use
What started as a hobby project has steadily grown into a platform used by more than 1,000 active developers. The growth has reinforced that frontend developers value a focused interview preparation experience built specifically for their needs, rather than a generic coding-interview prep tool that treats frontend as an afterthought alongside backend and systems questions.
That origin shapes how the platform is built. Because it comes from someone who has sat in the interviewer's chair as well as the candidate's, the structure leans toward what interviews actually test rather than a generic sweep of frontend trivia. It is a narrower promise than most prep tools make, and that narrowness is the point: developers preparing specifically for frontend roles get material built around JavaScript fundamentals, React patterns, system design questions unique to frontend architecture, and hands-on coding challenges, rather than a broad catalog that treats frontend as one category among many.
What comes next
Arvind is now working on FrontendPrep Pro, an affordable premium tier planned to include company-specific interview packs, role-based collections and more advanced learning resources. The idea is to let developers prepare for a specific company's interview style or a specific role's expectations, rather than studying frontend interviews in general and hoping it transfers. The long-term vision is to become the go-to platform for frontend interview preparation, helping developers prepare with confidence at every stage of their careers, from their first junior role interview through to more senior frontend positions.
