I’ve found that learning algorithms is more engaging when solving them with other people. So, I’ve built a site to help people learn algorithms and data structures together! I’ve worked on it with a friend for a few months and would love your feedback.
On Binary Search, you can create or join a room with others and work on the same coding problem together. You can choose to compete to finish the problem first, or solve them together and help each other out.
Working with friends (or strangers!) makes for a much more engaging atmosphere, and we’ve actually built a small community of coders who love to help each other out!
Check it out at https://binarysearch.io — we’ll be hanging out in some of the rooms. Let us know if you have any feedback or run into any issues. Hope to see you around!
The `/api/stats` request (500) hangs the application on my side.
Can't wait to try it out, I wish there were more game-y training sites. Codewars is fun, but knowing you're competing with other people at the same time is way more interesting.
love the concept, especially as a self taught programmer. I've always struggled with algorithms myself, and I find reading books equally boring.
On a side note, what's the UI components library that you're using? I've a hobby project that I'm working on and really liked the style/theme of your app :)
I'm like you a self taught for the most part and I find algos boring to learn alone as well. They aren exactly head turners, but still in a group would be nice.
Also I was thinking the same thing about the UI. I hope there is an answer somewhere. It's very Balsamiq looking and I love that!
