Please add the preview UI of performance analyze and contest history too. I'm curious about that part how'd the calculations of performance and rating changes goes.

      Uh, hey, I think I found a small bug; If you choose to have more than three problems in the contest, and you decide to choose the rating for the fourth problem or the problems after it, the drop down by default opens from problem 3. Please fix this soon.

        I couldn't reproduce the issue for some reason :/. Is there anything else you are doing other than adding a new problem and trying to choose its rating?

          Ah yup, when I add two three new problems (making 6 or more in total), and then I scroll a bit to choose the rating for the latter problems (6th or later), then the drop down is dropped in "not the correct way", I guess you can see it here.

            Oh yeah, I see what you're saying. Not sure why that bug happens since selecting a value in the dropdown still changes the correct rating, but I'll fix it in the next update. Thank you for reporting this! :)

Amazing! It make us create a contest easily in custom.

I think perhaps a function could be added: selecting the participants of this contest. In this way, it is possible to quickly determine whether the randomly selected topic has already been submitted or approved by them. I think this is a very great invention for those who want to organize trainings for some teams, because when organizing trainings, it is necessary to ensure that the participants have not done these problems as much as possible.

AvDev The extension is super Brilliant! But I have a device:

When the next time you update this extension, can you add a filter that we can choose the tag(s) we want? If you can, that's perfect!

Sorry for my poor English. :)

Anyway, it's the best codeforces extension I've ever seen!!!

This is great , I've been trying my hands on it lately and its quite a nice approach for practicing. Could you just make a fix so that it gives like open contest based problems, like excluding the language specific contests like Kotlin Heroes or Microsoft #Q's and all

I get questions like this during a contest https://codeforces.me/problemset/problem/1001/D
