Hello Codeforces community!

I'm excited to share a project I've been working on: CP-Assist, a desktop application designed to address the limitations of existing competitive programming tools.

Why I Built This

Unlike many existing tools that either support too few languages or are tightly coupled with specific text editors, I wanted to create something more flexible. As a programmer who values versatility, I found most existing CP tools too restrictive, so I built CP-Assist to work across different environments and with various languages.

Key Features

Editor Independence:

• Works with any text editor or IDE of your choice

• No lock-in to a specific development environment

• Flexible workflow that adapts to your preferences

Extensive Language Support:

• Wide range of programming languages supported

• Customizable compiler flags and execution parameters

Pre-submission File Modification:

• Unique Feature: Modify files before submission to include library files

• Perfect for competitors who use personal algorithm libraries

• Streamlines the process of preparing code for submission

Test Case Management:

• Automatic import of problem statements and test cases via Competitive Companion

• Organized interface for managing multiple test cases

• Real-time verdict status for each test

• Can add custom test cases

Code Execution:

• Run solutions against test cases directly in the application

• Track execution time and memory usage

• Automatic comparison of expected vs. actual outputs

Tech Stack

I built CP-Assist using:

• Rust with Tauri for performance-critical backend operations

• React with TypeScript for a responsive UI

• Mantine and Tailwind CSS for styling

Available for: - Linux (AppImage, .deb, .rpm) - Windows (Installer)

Looking for Feedback

I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts on CP-Assist:

• How does the flexibility compare to other tools you've used?

• Which languages are you using with it?

• Is the library inclusion feature helping with your workflow?

• What other features would make this more useful for you?

I built this tool to address the limitations I experienced with other CP assistants, and I hope it can help improve your competitive programming experience as well!
