Re: Show HN: Binarysearch.io – Learn Algorithms Together
#22I’m not into the idea? Interviews are to gauge an individuals abilities. Why would you want to practice for an individual task where you will he expected to solve individually with a group? I think this is like studying in a group for a test. There is a huge risk you think you learn something but you don’t.
Studying for assignments in a group makes sense or comparing notes etc. but studying for an exam in a group or an interview doesn’t.

Afaik this is completely counter to modern educational findings. Group work helps to both motivate people and shore up gaps in understanding.

#24Hey everyone, I’ve found that learning algorithms is more engaging when solving them with other people. So, I’ve built a site to help people learn algorithms and data structures together! I’ve worked on it with a friend for a few months and would love your feedback. On Binary Search, you can create or join a room with others and work on the same coding problem together. You can choose to compete to finish the problem…
love the concept, especially as a self taught programmer. I've always struggled with algorithms myself, and I find reading books equally boring. On a side note, what's the UI components library that you're using? I've a hobby project that I'm working on and really liked the style/theme of your app :)
I'm like you a self taught for the most part and I find algos boring to learn alone as well. They aren exactly head turners, but still in a group would be nice.
Also I was thinking the same thing about the UI. I hope there is an answer somewhere. It's very Balsamiq looking and I love that!

Thanks! Hope to see you around the site :)
We're using https://thesephist.github.io/blocks.css/ -- it's great and super simple!

#26Great idea! After Java and C++, are there any plans to add support for Rust? I'll give JavaScript a shot for now, but would love to do something like this for Rust, as that's what I'm currently learning. P.S. I noticed that the ".loader-container" is generating moving vertical and horizontal scroll bars on 1920×1080 due to ".loader" rotating. Applying "overflow: hidden" seems to fix that.
Thanks for the tip -- loader should be fixed now!
We don't have any plans to support Rust at the moment unfortunately, but your vote has definitely been noted!

#27I like this idea! I'd like to try this out again when the API is online again, and I can get a few other people I know online too. It was nice that readyoursicp joined me for a few minutes in the room to chat though. A lot of this is off-the-cuff, and not match up with what you're aiming for here. Hopefully some of it is useful though. 1. During the process, I couldn't quite figure out how I was doing or what I was d…
Hey there, was super fun playing with you earlier. Thanks a lot for the feedback -- will definitely address / fix some of your issues!

Can you cite one study that supports this claim?
