AlgoBridge for VS Code

Bring competitive programming problems directly into your editor. No more switching tabs to read statements or copy constraints.

Why?

Context switching between browser and editor is annoying and slow. You lose focus, miss constraints, and waste time scrolling back and forth.

On platforms where the problem statement stays visible while you code, the workflow is faster and more reliable. AlgoBridge brings that experience to VS Code, allowing you to reference constraints instantly and catch edge cases as you write.

Features

• Instant Visibility: One click in your browser brings the problem statement directly into a sidebar view.
• Clean Math Rendering: Uses KaTeX to render LaTeX expressions with high-performance formatting.
• Auto-Syncing: Automatically updates the problem view when you switch between active editor tabs.
• Workspace Integration: Offers to automatically create solution files with a C++ template when a new problem is received.
• Privacy First: Everything runs locally. Your browser talks directly to your editor over port 27123.
