Hey everyone - check out the discord here: https://discord.gg/8vhcmyckNw


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

I can totally see what you're solving for - the friction of switching between an anki deck and leetcode to achieve the same thing with existing tools.

If you want one data point about how I prepare for coding interviews - I just solve Neetcode's list and the blind 75 list (minus the overlap between the two). For reference I got 5 offers in quick succession after being laid off in early 2023.


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?


Definitely the problem category!

But I see it's already been mentioned here in another thread.

Do you rank the problems solved by the user only, or all leetcode problems?

Because I think that a nice thing would be for your tool to first suggest one pb in each category, and then start recommending the category where you're the weakest.


posted! thanks for the advice :)


here's the feedback form from the landing page: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Nqq9xj13ZZHlih16xsTp2Nsl4Zc...


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?


Yeah, may be an indicator in the tool that is mastered.


how do you use anki for code/technical skills?


The anki decks/cards are fully customisable to add any fancy extra feature.

Otherwise one can make their own cards (I often use LLMs to convert knowledge into cards and then import them into my account) for just about anything.


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


Hey 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


The GitHub repo linked there says it will automatically create cards for your solved (AC) leetcode problems.


do you think it adds friction to go between the anki screen and the leetcode screen?


Alt+Tab is practically instant and I already use Anki for all my SRS needs, so having a separate SRS for a niche topic as a Chrome-only browser extension is just a lose-lose for me.

It's a cool project, though!


Anki on my phone and leetcode on the laptop? 0 friction for me.


Hi Everyone!

Consistent review is key to mastering new skills, yet there's a surprising shortage of tools specifically designed to facilitate review in coding.

I've created a spaced repetition tool to help you master LeetCode problems, available here: https://www.lanki.xyz/

I'd greatly appreciate any feedback, suggestions, and possible feature requests!
