Fun concept. Competition can make practice more engaging, but it’ll need careful design so it doesn’t push people into rushing through problems. Could be a nice extra layer for regular users.

My college roommate and I have been building YeetCode for the last 4 months after noticing how many people (including us) struggled with staying motivated and consistent with algorithm practice. YeetCode links to your existing LeetCode account, reads your real solve history, and turns practice into a friendly competitive experience — duels, wagers, XP, streaks, bounties, and leaderboards (both individual and university-wide).
We'd appreciate feedback, feature suggestions, and thoughts on how to reach more users.
