GradeF

Popular for its size, but the engineering basics lag behind the interest.

Higher than 43% of 5,156 graded repos

A low grade is a to-do list, not a judgment of your code

Most gaps here are documentation, tests, and setup, not the code itself. Closing your top 3 gaps alone would lift this repo to B (87).
