LeetCode Accountability Tracker

This project is a Golang-based tool designed to help you and your friend stay accountable for daily LeetCode problem-solving. The program retrieves information about completed LeetCode problems using the alfa-leetcode-api and sends a daily email summarizing the number of problems solved, the specific problems, and the programming languages used.

Features

• Daily Email Summary: Each day, an email is sent to both you and your friend, detailing:

  • The number of LeetCode problems solved.
  • The specific problems solved.
  • The programming languages used.

• Golang Implementation: The application is written in Go, leveraging its efficiency and simplicity.

• Google Cloud Function Deployment: The program is deployed as a Google Cloud Function, ensuring scalability and easy management.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Go (version 1.21+)
• Google Cloud SDK
• A valid Google Cloud account with billing enabled
• Access to the alfa-leetcode-api

Google Cloud Setup

1. Create a Pub/Sub Topic:

You'll need a Pub/Sub topic to trigger the Cloud Function. Create on with the following command:

gcloud pubsub topics create scheduled-email

2. Set up a Cloud Scheduler Job:

The Cloud Scheduler will trigger the Pub/Sub topic at your desired time. Use the following command to create a scheduler job:

gcloud scheduler jobs create pubsub leetcode-email-job \
--schedule="0 8 * * *" \
--time-zone="America/Chicago" \
--topic=scheduled-email \
--message-body="{}"

This example schedules the job to run daily at 8 AM CST

3. Deploy your function using the following command:

gcloud functions deploy leetcode-emailer \
--gen2 \
--runtime=go121 \
--region=us-central1 \
--source=. \
--entry-point=LeetCodeEmail \
--trigger-topic=scheduled-email \
--env-vars-file .env.yaml

Example .env.yaml File

sender: "your-email@example.com"
recipients: "friend1@example.com,friend2@example.com"
accounts: "YourLeetCodeUsername,FriendsLeetCodeUsername"
password: "fake-password"
