Codeforces-AutoTracker

This application tracks your every day's Codeforces submission and write on GoogleSheet like your personal diary.
(Also you can spy on your competitor friends like me.)

Who should use it?

I never thought of sharing this simple project publicly. But when I talked to my friends about this, they said it helpful. So I think if you are not regular on coding and check if you are consistent or not, then you can use it. I do not recommend it for any consistent or regular coder. But irregular coders may use it as a tracker.

Why I made Codeforces AutoTracker?

When I started my CS journey, I really loved to make different kinds of projects to satisfy my thirst of development rather than solving problem on online judges. Besides, it was our (most of the Asian) university-culture to participate in competitive programming or to practice problem-solving on different kinds of online judge. But I did not get any interest on this stuff. So, I read many blogs, watched many videos on the internet to keep myself focused on a new habit. Then I found the best advice from a NasDaily video which says : #### "Commitment is the one and only way to get success."

So, I committed to myself that I will at least solve 1 easy problem each day, and I will do it for 30 days. Then I realized I am so lazy to track my solve count each day. Even I had no coder friend to ask me everyday how much problem I solved.

So I made my own friend titled 'Codeforces AutoTracker' which will check my Codeforces submission each day and write it on google sheet.This is the story behind this tracker.

I don't know where is my fault and why I cannot do better in Codeforces. In Summary:

I have solved 339 problems 269 A, 60 B and 9 C

188 from dif 800, 40 from dif 900, 51 from dif 1000, 27 from dif 1100, 20 from dif 1200, 9 from dif 1300

I have solved almost 95% of a2OJ <1299 ladder. Now what should be my approach to do better?

I have read many blogs on google and codeforces, but can't understand which idea will work for me. I need your help guys.

Dear Mike Sir,

We participate in Virtual Contests. But there we get only standing's result. We couldn't understand exactly how much rating I would get (suppose +31 or — 19) if I participate in original live contest.

So, at the end of the virtual contest, if there could have a option to see 'new rating' if I participated in the live round,it will be a great motivation for us. This new rating will just show for satisfaction and obviously will not be added in the original one.

If other participants agree with me and if it seems easy to implement, then I request you to help us.

Thank you.

Happy Coding !
