Show HN: I made myself a no-nonsense TODO app

anjandutta — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 05:30:54 +0000

Needed to take a few notes this morning(quickly), I didn't expect that level of a hassle for a simple todo notes app. Every other one required a login. So, I opened grok, and made myself one, about 30 mins ago. *It uses local storage to save the notes. No "login required" nonsense.

I’m building a tool that helps you stay on track and revise LeetCode DSA problems in a structured, stress-free way for interview prep.

I have launched it here https://dsaprep.dev

Show HN: Spaced Repetition for LeetCode – Stop Forgetting Problems You've Solved

anjandutta — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 12:34:27 +0000

Hi HN,

I built a spaced repetition system for Leetcode after realizing I'd "solved" 150+ problems but couldn't recall the patterns when faced with new questions in actual interviews.

The problem: Solving problems once creates the illusion of learning without actual retention. Your brain discards solutions as "one-time knowledge" unless you review them at spaced intervals.

What it does: - Automatically schedules problem reviews (1 day → 3 days → 1 week → 2 weeks → 1 month, etc.) - Adjusts intervals based on difficulty (easy problems reviewed less frequently) - Highlights overdue problems that need attention - Tracks your actual retention with notes/flashcards

Key insight: It's better to master 50 problems through 3-5 reviews each than solve 200 problems once and forget them all.

Demo: https://dsaprep.dev/tracker

I've been using this for couple of months and the difference in pattern recognition is significant. Problems that used to feel "new" now trigger automatic recognition of which approach to use.

Tech stack: React, Node.js, Express, MongoDB

Would love feedback on: - The revision interval algorithm - UI/UX for the review workflow - Pricing strategy - Whether this scratches an itch for others

Built this as a side project to solve my own problem. Happy to answer questions!

New comment by anjandutta in "Show HN: Zero-codegen, no-compile TypeScript type inference from Protobufs"

anjandutta — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 10:23:38 +0000

This is super cool — love the zero-codegen approach. I’ve had to deal with codegen hell in monorepos where a tiny .proto change breaks half the pipeline. Curious how this handles more complex types like nested messages or oneof fields?

Also, been building something in a different space (LeetCode prep tool), but the idea of removing build steps for dev speed really resonates. Would love to see how this could plug into a lightweight frontend setup.

Well, I have seen in many of the other compilers that there is a limit on certain things, sometimes there is a limit on the number of lines, or number of executions, someone is asking for a sing-up etc. I tried to keep it completely free from any of these. That's why "freecodecompiler". (and I don't store the code)
