ByteBridge: Enhancing Programmer Skills

Introduction

ByteBridge is a social media platform tailored for programmers to elevate their CP/DSA (Competitive Programming/Data Structures and Algorithms) skills. Whether you're a novice seeking improvement or an expert in search of new challenges, ByteBridge offers a diverse range of features to cater to your needs.

Challenges Faced

Programmers often encounter the following hurdles:

• Time-consuming search: Scouring multiple platforms like GFG, Codeforces, and Leetcode for suitable practice questions can be tedious.

• Centralized practice questions: Access practice questions from various sources, including Codeforces and Leetcode, all in one platform.
• Skill-level recommendations: Utilizing machine learning scripts and Python libraries, ByteBridge recommends practice questions tailored to your current skill level.
• Interactive features: Engage in discussions, connect with fellow programmers, and build a thriving coding community through features such as discussion forums, chat rooms (limited to friends), and user profiles.
