For Example: You want to solve Dynamic Programming problems - select "Dynamic Programming" and it will get you problems by clustering all the tags like dp, Dynamic Programming, dynamic-prog, dynamic-programming, etc across the sites. Happy Coding :)

Suggest tags option added in each problem page (Look for a + button in the problem page). You can choose tags from a set of pre-defined tags. This data will be used in the recommendation engine coming soon ;)

Tabs instead of Switch in problem page

Materialized tabs added to view submissions in a categorized fashion.
My submissions | Friends' submissions | Global Submissions.

Sweet User Interface for tables

All the submission tables and the contest table now show the profile site logo instead of naively mentioning the name ;)

No separate friend request page

Friend requests page is now merged with the Notifications page so that user can view the day streak and pending friend requests in same page.

'Show tags' button instead of giving a Spoiler ;)

Problem page instead of displaying the problem tags directly includes a button only on-click of which the tags are displayed.

Mark contests whose reminder is already added

If you have added a reminder for a contest, then it will show a disabled button and hence save you from duplicating the reminders (Needless to say - You must have authorized StopStalk with Google)

Instead of treating a partially solved problem as solved problem, a separate submission status is specifically introduced. Note: Already retrieved submissions are not updated but all the new submissions will be marked appropriately.

Editorial Links added

Editorial Links added in the problem page. Note: This is only if the profile site actually has the editorial for that problem.

  • Press tab and type the user you want to search ;)
