Hi Codeforces!↵
↵
**The top 1% are able to effectively use insights from old problems to solve new problems.** Multiple exceptional problem solvers such as [SuperJ6 (codeforces [cf] master, **top 1%**)](https://codeforces.net/blog/entry/116371), [Geothermal (CF international grandmaster, **top 0.02%**)](https://codeforces.net/blog/entry/101561?#comment-901529), and [Colin Galen (CF grandmaster, **top 0.18%**)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmfuLRnFZBc) all recommend **reflecting on key ideas/observations 💡 after solving problems in order to be able to tackle *new* problems** in competitive programming.↵
↵
Therefore, I created this platform called **🌠 Starlight Problem Solving** to allow problem solvers to:↵
↵
- 🙋 Share these **key insights/observations** as well as **hints** for over **20,000 problems** including *Codeforces, USA Computing Olympiad, American Math Competitions (AMC) 8/10/12/AIME/USA(J)MO, AtCoder and DMOJ*↵
- 🧠 **Summarize key insights/hints** with **artificial intelligence (AI/ML)** and see the **key insights that other top problem solvers are thinking** of a problem.↵
- 🔍 <span style="color: blue;"> Find **similar problems** based on insight(s) of one problem to continue practicing **insights/observations you struggled with applying/seeing in a problem.**</span>↵
- 🤔 See **hints** to be able to take more away from more time spent on hands on problem solving.↵
- 📕 **A Journal** to store the **statuses of all problems you are solving** and **the key insights used** making it convenient to use this website. (<span style="color: green;"> **Help out other problem solvers by using this feature to store the key insights for each problem you solve! Also feel free to contribute hints**</span>)↵

↵
### 🏗 In the future, I hope to work with others to build these exciting things:↵
- An **AI** tool to _predict_ the key insights/observations of problems↵
- With enough data, **summarize key insights/observations** commonly used in **certain types of contests** (e.g. USACO Gold contests, codeforces problems with rating around 1900) to help people know the **insights/observations** required to successfully apply those algorithms to **achieve their competitive programming goals 🏆** and give **more structure 🧗**.↵
