Suggestions for improving the project
Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2025 2:24 am
Hi everyone!
Lately I've been thinking about some suggestions that I think will improve the website and the project in general. I know the team works very hard and I appreciate it very much, so I understand that some or even all of them will remain just ideas, but I decided to share them anyway.
I would love to hear feedback on the suggestions, as well as new suggestions.
1. Option to copy the friend key - Just a small button that says "copy friend key".
2. Sorting the problems in archive search - Sorting the problems in the archive even when searching for tags or matching a problem. For example, sorting the problems by relevance and then difficulty, or showing only unsolved problems.
3. Distinguishing between difficulty ratings in the archive - Make it easier to distinguish between the difficulty ratings in the archive, because in my opinion the line length is not enough. This could be done by using colors like in the "Progress" section, and simply writing the rating would be best in my opinion.
4. Adding difficulty rating to the problems minimal data - Adding a difficulty rating for each problem to https://projecteuler.net/minimal=problems, to make it easier to research the problems.
5. Option to suggest a tag for a problem - I think some of the problems are missing tags that they should have. Since when the tags were added, it was necessary to go through all the problems manually and add the tags to them, it is natural that some of the problems will be missing tags. I suppose this would be difficult to do, but I think if every user could suggest a tag for a problem, and maybe even suggest a completely new one, the tags would be more accurate and useful.
6. PE app - I know there used to be an app for the project and now there isn't. I don't know why it's no longer available, but I think it would be great if there was a new one. That way, participating in the project would be more convenient and there would be the option to receive notifications about various events, such as the release of a new problem or a response to a post. If it's not possible to create the app but there's another way to receive notifications, such as email or SMS, that would also be great.
7. Adding "Recent Changes" to the Friends page - I often want to know if one of my friends has solved a new problem, but I can't remember how many he solved before. It would be nice if I could see if he's solved a new problem since the last time I checked, or if he's published a new post, etc. without having to go to his profile.
8. Adding the link to PE chat at the top of the page - This way, access to the chat will be easier and faster.
