What Is the Practice Feed?


Why We Built It

The Problem with Traditional Practice

  • *Which problems should I solve for Google vs. Amazon?*
  • *How many system design scenarios do I need?*
  • *Am I spending too much time on Easy problems?*
  • *Which problems have I already completed?*

The Practice Feed Approach


How the Practice Feed Works

Personalised Problem Discovery

  • Your target companies — each problem is tagged with the companies that have asked it
  • Your target roles — Software Engineer, Senior SDE, ML Engineer, etc.
  • Difficulty progression — a healthy mix of Easy, Medium, and Hard to build confidence progressively

Three Interview Pillars in One Feed

TabWhat It ContainsWhy It Matters Coding30+ algorithm and data structure problems per companyThe core technical round — always present System DesignReal-world architecture scenarios at scaleRequired for mid-level and senior roles BehavioralCompany-specific culture and values questionsOften the tiebreaker between strong candidates

Smart Filtering and Sorting

  • Difficulty filters — toggle between All, Easy, Medium, and Hard
  • Saved problems — bookmark problems you want to revisit
  • Topics — filter by specific patterns like Arrays, Dynamic Programming, Trees, or Graphs
  • Sort by newest — see recently added problems first
  • Company match badges — green "MATCHED" badges highlight problems from your target companies

You'll love it if:

  • You've been aimlessly grinding LeetCode and want direction
  • You want to practice the full interview, not just the coding part
  • You're motivated by competition and visible progress
  • You want an AI that adapts to your skill level in real time
