Imagine the possibilities if developers had access to Project Euler's API.
Top of my head: Live competition between two users, timed questions, heck even a built in code editor.
I know that the list of problems and their details can be accessed via simple GET requests, but what about the solutions? People can always find workarounds but every developer might implement it in his/her own way and solutions might vary. By exposing the API, Project Euler won't only become way more popular, but also become the main source for developers to make such apps.
Suggestion - Expose API to public usage

Re: Suggestion - Expose API to public usage
What API? A project which isn't designed with the goal of supporting application programmers doesn't necessarily have an interface for them to use. From what we can see, it's possible to infer that the site itself mainly accesses data dumps which are generated by a scheduled task rather than live data, so there's probably nothing to give access to.
