feel like it's still not as smooth as powertoys
this'd be insane but how does it works?

One of my friends only applied to jobs on LinkedIn from credible companies. He got to Google btw

I think you might have hit the API limit since it didn't generate anything for me
Re:Ask HN: Can AI agents build full-stack apps from scratch? on Thursday April 24, 2025 @09:57AM (#43782892)
Convex Chef can build full-stack apps not only with REST API but also with real-time features using WebSockets
My side project BeatCode which is a PvP version of LeetCode. Once this is fully complete I want to build my own OS that can efficiently remember what you did to feed to your local LLM (Hopefully like Iron Man's Jarvis one day)!

Just rewatched Hamilton and ig I just want to contribute by building something great that can help people. There are just too many AI apps out there for everything and none of them are solving the problem quite well enough. I'm just learning everything right now tbh and see if I can get to the frontier of something.

Please add a "touch snow" feature for those living in the north ;)
Kinda insane how this post I made for my project got viral. Got a tons of feedbacks and I just want to thank everyone here for checking it out. Really means a lot for a student trying to build cool stuff :)
In my universe, the only permitted background is pitch terminal black
Yea I knew about that but I wanted to learn how to build one my own :D
Hmm there're a lot of light mode fans here. I'll probably need to pivot to some color inverse scheme instead
Thanks!
My dad also did that to my house too, and I had to try to find a corner dark enough to see my editor in dark mode lol
I may be evil but I have my standards sir... (Why not just random rgb flashes?)
Yeah sorry :) At first I tried to do a stress test, then plot a curve and try to find the closest runtime curve to that curve but it didn't work most of the time ;-;
You're very welcome :)
It's just an ability to annoy people. I also had another one where you can rick roll them in the background :)
Lmao true
Huh interesting I'll try to fix that. Thanks lots!
Thanks for the report, I just fixed it!
That'll be awesome. I'm also planning a relay style team mode where each person can code for 5 minutes or so and the next will jump in :D
Yea true not sure how to prevent that so ig this is just a project for now
Imma add an ability that flashes rgb in your editor then. Thanks for the suggestion :D
I'm actually planning to put all neetcode videos in my practice mode. Awesome stuff ;D
Thanks! Creating a template for inserting the code would be one. Java has this type erasure thing where the types only appear after compilation so tweaking it around was hard. Spinning up the containers for each submission is slow but it ensures every submission is isolated.
I love how this went viral because of this thread lol. I do know some friends who prefer light mode too, so maybe an opposite effect of forcing your light-mode-fan opponent to code in dark mode? Dunno lol
Sorry I'm new here seems like I can only edit the title within 2 hours of posting. Thanks lots for telling me!
Re:LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode >:) on Thursday February 20, 2025 @12:28AM (#43111418)
Basically recreated LeetCode on a $5/month VPS lol. It started as a class project but over 800 people joined so I kept refining it for 2 months. It supports running Python, Java, and C++ code (building a code runner is tough). Give it a try and let me know what you think!

The code is also open-source too at https://github.com/beatcode-official

Re:I made a LeetCode PvP Game for a class project on Thursday February 20, 2025 @12:24AM (#43111405)
Yep it's updated on beatcode.dev now. Thank you for the suggestion! :D
