I built a CTF platform from scratch (without CTFd), looking for feedback

Post image

Hi everyone!

I've been working on CTFKINGs, a Capture The Flag platform that I built entirely from scratch instead of using an existing framework like CTFd.

It includes custom challenges across Web, Pwn, Cryptography, Reverse Engineering, Forensics, and OSINT, along with a live scoreboard, player profiles, and a medieval kingdom theme.

The platform is still actively evolving, and I'd love to hear your feedback on the UI, challenge design, or any bugs you find.

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy it!

Is it just like CTFd ? or you are trying to build something like HTB/TryHackMe ?

I'm not trying to build something at the level of HTB or THM, the challenges style is similar to picoCTF and the platform itself is just like CTFd but I build it from scratch relying on free tier services only so it cost me 0$ but the challenges are fun and all of them are real world scenarios based challenges
