Sharing my katas with non-members (potential employers, etc.)? Possible?

[VH]

Hi, number one this may be my own oversight, but even when I'm logged in I'm not finding a way to look at my own solution to a kata, just others. Am I missing something?

And expanding upon that question - I think it would be a really useful feature to be able to share my katas with non-members of the site in a more accessible way, perhaps by language, with the kata description and code on the same page. I've noticed that a lot of the katas are similar to the interview questions you'll get asked, so to be able to email a link to katas, maybe by language and difficulty, would maybe help streamline the process and help companies get a feel for my skills in a given language? I suffer from interview anxiety and tend to blank out and write inelegant code in that kind of situation, so to be able to have a bunch of katas to showcase to someone beforehand would be awesome.

If you expanded on this more another direction to go in may be to actually open up accounts for employers, where they could submit a set of private katas for potential candidates. I know some places will offer take home problems but having the setup so streamlined with the test cases, etc. and in a format where they could be easily processed/compared by the employer would probably be really helpful!

VH - these are all awesome ideas. There's all sorts of potential for how kata could be used, tons of potential.

As for your own solutions, we just deployed a feature that allows you to view/compare your solution. On the solutions page, every solution has a link at the bottom "compare to your solution" - that will open your solution for viewing!
