LeetCode Launchpad

Introduction

• This is a project I started working on in order to gain some more experience with React and Django while deepening my understanding of LeetCode-related concepts.
• LeetCode Launchpad is tailored for those new to technical interview preparation, providing a focused introduction to LeetCode problem categories and essential Python concepts.
• The emphasis is on problem-solving 'tricks' and memorization of abstract patterns.
• This is still a work in progress, not all content is finished yet!

Technologies Used

• Frontend: React
• Backend: Django, Django REST Framework
• Database: SQLite (PostgreSQL planned for production)
• Authentication: Django's built-in user authentication system

Features

• Explore specific data structures or problem categories through detailed examples with step-by-step explanations.
• Utilize flashcards to master the time complexities of various methods associated with the most used Python data structures.

Planned Features

• Spaced repetition for flashcards to enhance retention.
• Progress tracking for completed problem categories.
• OpenAI GPT assistant to provide hints and explanations for Leetcode problems (API key integration and secure storage).
• Deployment: Plan to deploy the app using AWS with PostgreSQL for production.
