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

weebaoon Ask HN: Can AI agents build full-stack apps from scratch?

Convex Chef can build full-stack apps not only with REST API but also with real-time features using WebSockets

weebaoon Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment

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 ;)

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

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

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

Yea I knew about that but I wanted to learn how to build one my own :D

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

Hmm there're a lot of light mode fans here. I'll probably need to pivot to some color inverse scheme instead

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

Thanks!

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

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

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

I may be evil but I have my standards sir... (Why not just random rgb flashes?)

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

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 ;-;

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

You're very welcome :)

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

It's just an ability to annoy people. I also had another one where you can rick roll them in the background :)

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

Lmao true

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

Huh interesting I'll try to fix that. Thanks lots!

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

Thanks for the report, I just fixed it!

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

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

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

Yea true not sure how to prevent that so ig this is just a project for now

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

Imma add an ability that flashes rgb in your editor then. Thanks for the suggestion :D

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

I'm actually planning to put all neetcode videos in my practice mode. Awesome stuff ;D

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

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.

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

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

weebaoon LeetCode but You Can Force People to Code in Light Mode

Sorry I'm new here seems like I can only edit the title within 2 hours of posting. Thanks lots for telling me!

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

Yep it's updated on beatcode.dev now. Thank you for the suggestion! :D
