Introducing the Country Rank Feature in CF College Standings Extension

Hello Codeforces Community!

I’m excited to share an update to my CF College Standings Chrome extension, which has been well-received thanks to your valuable feedback. Based on the suggestions and requests I received, I've added a new feature: Country Rank.

What’s New?

Country Rank

With this latest update, you can now view your country rank directly on the standings page, but only if you have participated in the contest officially. This feature allows you to see where you stand among other competitors from your country without navigating away from the standings page.

Note: For broader country-wide standings, please refer to the CLIST website for comprehensive rankings.

Key Features

  • Direct Country Rank Display: Easily check your rank within your country directly on the Codeforces standings page.
  • Automatic Updates: Your rank will be displayed once the contest ratings have been officially released. Please allow 10-15 seconds for the first time you open any contest page to see your rank.
  • Seamless Integration: This new feature integrates smoothly with the existing functionality of the extension, providing a more complete view of standings.

Previous Version

In the previous version, the extension added a "College Standings" button to the standings page, allowing users to view standings specifically for their organization. This functionality remains, and you can still use it to view standings of members from your organization. For more details on the previous version, you can check out the previous blog post.

Installation & Usage

To use the updated extension:

  • Download and install the latest version from the Chrome Web Store.
  • Navigate to the Codeforces standings page and click on the new "College Standings" button to view your organization’s standings.
  • Check your country rank directly on the standings page if you've participated in the contest officially.

Feel free to reach out with any feedback or issues, and thank you for supporting the CF College Standings extension!

Happy coding and best of luck in your contests!

Introducing CF College Standings: A Custom Standings Tab for Codeforces Contests

Hello Codeforces Community!

I'm excited to announce the launch of my new Chrome extension, CF College Standings, designed to enhance your contest experience on Codeforces. This extension aims to provide a more personalized view of contest standings by allowing users to filter the results based on their educational institution. Here's a detailed look at what this extension offers and how it can benefit you! If you're a student and just interested in seeing how your peers are performing, this extension offers a convenient way to track and compare standings within your community.

One of the standout features of this extension is that it not only works for ongoing contests but also allows you to view the standings of past contests. This means you can explore how your seniors performed in previous competitions and even review their submitted code. It's a fantastic way to learn from experienced programmers within your institution and see how they tackled various problems.
