Solid platform - clean and useful for algorithm practice.

Quick suggestions:

  - GitHub OAuth would feel natural for devs.
  - Broaden language support (C#, TypeScript, Ruby).
  - Add dark/light mode toggle for comfort.
Excited to see where it goes — thanks for building.

Thanks for the kind words, and for taking the time to write concrete suggestions.

GitHub sign in is on the way. Right now it is Google only, but I am adding GitHub so it feels more natural for devs.

For languages, the drills are Python first. Java, C++ and JavaScript will be fully supported by the end of this year across all problems.

The site is dark by default today. A proper light and dark toggle is planned so people can pick what is more comfortable for longer sessions.

Really appreciate you trying it this early and sharing where you would like it to go.

Another to add to the list: Allow flexible naming. For example, drilling the two sum problem requires the user name the hashmap prev_map, but I feel memorizing this sort of stuff detracts from the lesson.
