Built a Tool to Organize My Coding Practice
By hacker_70, history, 2 months ago, In English

While solving problems on Codeforces, I kept facing one issue:

I would find a good problem, think “I’ll revise this later”, and then completely forget it.

  • Bookmarks became messy.

  • Screenshots were useless.

  • Spreadsheets required manual work.

So I built CodeQuest, a lightweight Chrome extension to save and organize coding problems in 1 click.

What it does:

  • Auto-detects problem title, link, platform, difficulty, tags

  • Normalizes tags (BFS = bfs = Breadth First Search)

  • Takes under 3 seconds to save a problem

  • It works across Codeforces, LeetCode, CodeChef, etc.

  • Saves everything directly to your Google Sheet

I’d love feedback from the Codeforces community so I can improve it based on real needs.

You can install it directly from the WebStore..

Thanks!

    I totally get that! Text files are great for simplicity, but I found they quickly become unmanageable once you have 50+ problems. The advantage of CodeQuest is that it automatically captures the title, tags, and difficulty, allowing you to filter and sort your practice list without any manual work. Plus, you can add quick notes for your future self. It’s essentially a 'smart' text file that stays organized for you!
