Solid platform - clean and useful for algorithm practice.
Quick suggestions:
- GitHub OAuth would feel natural for devs.
- Broaden language support (C#, TypeScript, Ruby).
- Add dark/light mode toggle for comfort.
Excited to see where it goes — thanks for building.
Thanks for the kind words, and for taking the time to write concrete suggestions.
GitHub sign in is on the way. Right now it is Google only, but I am adding GitHub so it feels more natural for devs.
For languages, the drills are Python first. Java, C++ and JavaScript will be fully supported by the end of this year across all problems.
The site is dark by default today. A proper light and dark toggle is planned so people can pick what is more comfortable for longer sessions.
Really appreciate you trying it this early and sharing where you would like it to go.
Another to add to the list: Allow flexible naming. For example, drilling the two sum problem requires the user name the hashmap prev_map, but I feel memorizing this sort of stuff detracts from the lesson.
Good point, and that matches other feedback I am seeing.
You are right that in the current version the checker is still too literal about names and structure. In two sum for example it nudges you toward my map name instead of letting you use your own, which is not what I want to optimise for once you already know the idea.
The plan from here is to keep an editorial mode for people who want to follow the exact solution and add a more flexible mode that accepts your own names and structure as long as it is doing the same job. Over time the checker should recognise what you actually wrote and adapt its objectives and feedback to that, instead of forcing everyone into one naming scheme.
