Users with rating less than 1700 may not be able to see changes yet, but it will be added soon.

The new year magic allows us to change our handles, its nice but, right after new year you see a lot of new handles, and there is no way to know who was who.

So, I created a small website which can track handle changes during a year change.

On 27-12-2020 there were 309118 Handles on Codeforces. Now, since the handle change feature is gone, i have started a program that would record all handle changes across 309118 handles.

Since, the list is huge. Its very time consuming and its okay, considering that it happens once every year.

As of now, The website has almost all Master+ people tracked. However, the website will be updated frequently this month until all handle changes have been added. I am predicting that before January ends, all 309118 handles will be tracked.

Nice job mate. So many users in my friends list changed their handles and I was trying to remember their previous handles by looking at their submissions and comments lol (eg. emma, eva). It is very helpful (for me atleast).

    There are over 300,000 handles, i am adding them based on rating from top to bottom, your handle will also be added soon. Currently, all IGM,LGM,GM,M(almost) have been added.

    The density of users is more towards the bottom, so its taking time, but it will all be added soon
