Programming has become a vital skill for securing a job in the Information Technology field, as it is used to assess a student's problem-solving abilities. Students with technical backgrounds are encouraged to practice their programming skills on various platforms. Various websites like HackerEarth, HackerRank, LeetCode, etc., conduct coding challenges and hackathons for students and working professionals. However, many participants miss ongoing challenges, which has led to the need for a platform that can notify them about upcoming competitions. The project being developed aims to address this issue and also help students keep track of their performance to identify areas for improvement [1][4]. This new web app provides customized notifications for coding competitions and hackathons, tailored to each user's individual interests and preferences. The technologies used in this application stack include ReactJS for the front-end, and ExpressJS, ReactJS, and Python for the back-end [1][2]. The application provides several features such as generating a list of programming contests based on filters, receiving notification alerts an hour before a contest starts, sharing contests with friends and fellow contestants, and allowing users to see their profile data from each platform. Users can also set notification priorities based on the contest platforms [1].
