Chess-style Elo for coding practice, but the puzzles are just AI-generated snippets.

Strengths

•Supports 36 languages including niche ones like COBOL and Assembly.
•Dynamic puzzle generation prevents memorization of static question banks.
•Free unlimited access removes the paywall friction common in ed-tech.

Weaknesses

•AI-generated code puzzles often lack the rigorous correctness of hand-crafted ones.
•Competes with established platforms like LeetCode and Codewars that have verified content.

Post Description

I am a developer and a huge chess lover. I play mostly puzzles on Lichess. At some point I realized that I would love to have a similar puzzle-like game app for programming, so I built one!

Please try it out and give me some feedback, any kind of feedback is warmly welcomed.
