Don't sweat it man it happens. If anything it is shitty on their part so just keep applying.

I feel u. Mines was just a simple array [] and 4 loop challenge, but it still sucks! We just have 2 keep fighting this uphill battle...or start one ourselves.

Send them an email back asking for advice for the future, it could be they just had too many applicants to give individual feedback (still a poor excuse) so asking them specifically might be required.
Either way it would be good to know why so I see no harm in trying 🙂 -
Banele7317yI feel your pain man. I am currently in a similar process. However, in my case, it's a java application that basically simulates timesheet management. I've been working on it for like a week now. I just hope they'll provide me with proper feedback should they not take me.
Keep on pushing man.
Happy coding -
They just tricked you into working for them for free. Don't do company work when applying.
But on the bright side you've got a nice API on your GitHub now as reference for future applications so at least it wasn't all for nothing.
tl;dr: spent 12 hours creating an api for a job interview challenge. Got rejected after 4 weeks with no real feedback, and all I can do is rant!
So I was in the interview process with a company that was a great fit for my background.
Got through a couple of phone screens, and was given a coding challenge consisting of writing a web API with a couple of endpoints and a filter function.
I'm like, ok no problem, I happen to have created apis for some mobile apps in the past, and I pick Django rest framework to get the job done.
Implemented it on a Sunday, wrote a medium size Readme.md and some unit tests and submit. Took almost four weeks and a partial resubmission to get a rejection with no specific feedback.
Now I'm shamelessly butthurt and I have nothing else to do but rant! Worse part is I looked back at the code and in my opinion is solid AF, so I put it on my public GitHub cause fuck it!

my time is worthless
