Codeforces POTD Chrome Extension just got revamped.
By disypher, history, 6 hours ago, In English

Hey Codeforces Community,

They say the best code is the one you write every day. To that end, I present Codeforces POTD 2.0 – now on Chrome Web Store and, yes, fully open-sourced on GitHub.

Github Repo: https://github.com/Ntropy86/Codeforces-Calendar/tree/main

Store Link:https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kdpcekneldcnkajbmabmfgdpcdjdmcfd?utm_source=item-share-cb

What's in the new algorithmic arsenal?

  • MongoDB backend – Because nested if-statements aren't the only thing that should be structured
  • Rating-matched problems – Adapts to your skill like a good binary search adapts to its input
  • Visual streak calendar – Watch your consistency grow faster than O(n²)
  • Automatic validation – We track your submissions so your brain can focus on the next DP optimization

Two announcements in O(1) time:

Chrome Web Store: Get the extension here before you can say "Time Limit Exceeded" Now Open Source: The entire codebase is available on GitHub – inspect the algorithms, optimize our queries, or contribute that feature you've been wishing for. Fork it faster than a greedy algorithm grabs coins.

How it works Enter your handle, solve the day's problem, and watch your streak grow. It's that simple – unlike proving P ≠ NP. Final thoughts As we all know, the most elegant solution isn't the one with the most lines of code, but the one that consistently gets the job done, day after day. May your streaks be long and your runtime errors few.

"the most elegant solution isn't the one with the most lines of code"

An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity. Therefore, I admire complex solutions

    Well here we are in this rat race to write the longest solution possible as well. Appreciate it. :P

Could you make it possible set a min or max rating bound on the potd

    The POTD is based on your rating only. It will be within your capability to do it.

One small issue, this extension is messing up the position of the username in profile page. Very helpful extension.
