how is this different from sharing an anki deck?
super similar - was inspired by anki! this extension shows up directly on the leetcode website as a starting point, but looking to expand to all of ankis-type features soon

#13Hey guys! I'm Shreya. I recently noticed that many people that solve leetcode style problems to learn programming patterns tend to save links to problems they'd like to try again later on google docs/notes. However, this doesn't help them remember to try these problems again or differentiate between problems that are more urgent to revise. Built this tool to help solve this inefficiency!
Or just use this public Anki deck as a base and add your own questions to it: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1223170466
do you think it adds friction to go between the anki screen and the leetcode screen?

#14Will it stop recommending if you have mastered the problem? Or will it give a new problem to solve ?
for now, it will always 5 recommend problems you have attempted before, prioritizing the ones you solved both (1) longest time ago and the ones that were (2) hardest for you. so it will not recommend anything you haven't tried. would you want it to stop recommending a problem once you've mastered it? maybe an indication on the tool so you can mark it as mastered?

#16I'm about to start the leet code grind for interviews coming up and I'll give this a shot. I found your feedback form on your website but would be nice to post it in your post here as well. Cheers.
posted! thanks for the advice :)

#17Just fyi for the dev - on mobile, the slide in menu that opens on clicking the burger icon on the top right is empty.
Cool idea btw. What do you think about incorporating the "patterns" associated with problems into the repetition algorithm? For example, if I find 2 pointer problems hard, then the next 2 pointer problem will be recommended sooner.

#18Seems nice, congrats! How does the recommendation algorithm work?
currently recommends 5 problems using a ranking algorithm that calculates a score similar to this:
score = ( timeSinceLastAttempt ^ 2 ) * difficulty;
Anything else you'd want factored in?

I keep hearing this. What exactly does 'leetcode grind' mean?
I take it you solve puzzles by writing code. How does it help with job interviews really?

yes, was thinking of adding this in! will start adding possible features here:
