how it started
Breaking the solidarity of LeetCoding
I joined CodeBuddy in 2025, when Nick showed me a functional LeetCode extension prototype but no UI. The project, which is a Chrome extension designed to allow people to LeetCode together, started from an idea to break the monotony of solo coding and fostering a collaborative environment, targeting developers who use LeetCode for interview prep or skill growth.
The first prototype – 1/3 a screen and a dream
how it's going
We're cooking, I promise!
Since gatekeeping is real, I can't really show much of what we're working on, other than the thumbnail and this Figma screenshot to prove that it's still rolling.
looking forward
To CodeBuddy!
In the meantime, take a look at our landing page and join the waitlist (spiritually)! Think about us whenever you open LeetCode, and dream about how you could be doing it with a buddy once CodeBuddy's out.
