Daily Codeforces Problem Email
By sberens, history, 21 month(s) ago, In English

Happy New Year everyone!

In order to train more consistently this year, I made a tool that emails you a Codeforces problem every day. You just have specify what rating and tags you want.

Before making this tool I would use the TLE bot, but giving it the same query every day was annoying (especially on mobile). This way you can wake up with a Codeforces problem ready to go!

Here it is: https://www.dailycodeforces.com/

Any feedback is appreciated!

I suggest adding the option for intervals of rsting as pure rating is kinda cringe (some 1600 are very hard, some 1800 are very easy, so maybe you would want to search between 1600 and 1800 because you'd see more types of problems whatnot, 1700 are very little)

Get the handle of the user to mail unsolved problems only.

maybe you might want to add this feature , where you link your codeforces account and it does not give you a problem you solved before

Nice product there! But the first problem I receive is from an April fool contest lol. It would be very nice to exclude problems from this kind of contest.

    Also removing Kotlin contests would be nice

      Update: should be fixed now. If anyone is curious, you can use the ratingChanges api endpoint to see if a contest is rated.

This is great! Since the problems are handed to me, I am actually starting to do problems consistently xD I have one suggestion, it would be nice if we have the option to set at what time we receive the daily problems, taking into account different time zones. That way, everyone can receive them at a convenient time for them, no matter where they are located.

I Suggested that add Button in system to send another problem at the same moment in Gmail because I sometimes finish problem and need another problem at the same moment.

    Thanks for notifying me — it should be fixed now! For some reason my secrets manager got disconnected from github actions causing the cron job to fail.
