Inspiration
- LeetParty (which was sadly deprovisioned from the Chrome Web Store)
- @TheCodingSloth Chrome extension that forces users to solve a random leetcode problem at intervals of the day
What it does
- Add LeetCode users to a personal friend network
- Track statistics on LeetCode problems and friends via leaderboards
How we built it
- provision an Amazon EC2 instance to host the application and database
- install and start the PostgreSQL database
- implement 11 backend endpoints in Node.js
- create a Chrome extension
Challenges we ran into
- node.js argument error disguised as an SQL query error
- understanding React with limited experience
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Fully functioning Chrome Extension!
- Dividing team efforts, effective communication, successfully integrated backend and frontend together
- Having a great experience
What we learned
- Advanced server and database provisioning
- Advanced webscraping
- Chrome extension framework
What's next for LeetCode JILE
- Improve security through endpoint authentication
- Add a challenges tab
