Top problem solvers like Geothermal (top 0.02% on codeforces) recommend reflecting on key insights/observations after solving a problem to be able to tackle new problems. Join starlight problem solving to SHARE and VIEW these key insights/observations as well as HINTS with other problem solvers on over 20,000 problems including Codeforces, USACO, AMC, and AIME! You can view similar problems given insights of one problem with the help of AI if you struggle with some insights.
We know that to solve new problems we use key insights from old problems in ADDITION to knowing algorithms. (E.g. Geothermal (CF international grandmaster, top 0.02%) recommends this.) However, for many even after solving lots of problems and learning the algorithms improvement doesn't happen, since the mastery of key ideas hasn't been developed yet.
Thus, I have created this platform called π Starlight Problem Solving to help people improve using insights:
π You can share and view a summary of insights (thanks to AI) on over 20,000 problems (Codeforces, AtCoder, DMOJ, etc). This allows you to see new important insights you may be missing on finding.
π You can also view similar problems based on insights (thanks to AI) so if you couldn't solve a problem, you can now find similar problems to allow you to master the insight(s) you struggled with.
π€ You can also see hints to spend more time with hands on problem solving.
π In the future, we hope to create an AI to predict key insights problems (including ones with no insights in this database) and use AI to summarize the key insights needed to achieve a certain level (e.g. USA computing olympiad gold, codeforces rating 1900) giving you a clear vision of what insights you need to improve on and master.
If this sounds like it would be useful, please consider joining the website and sharing with others. If you have spreadsheets of insights/lessons, please consider submitting them here: https://forms.gle/PbgUqM7qapwKk3Jv7. Use the JOURNAL FEATURE which stores all the insights of problems you solved!

Here is a Google Form to fill out with your qualifications if you are interested: https://forms.gle/txpWvcZwWxD1yVog6. I'm looking for machine learning engineers, web developers, web designers, and marketing/outreach.
Starlight Problem Solving is doing an Amazon Giftcard Raffle where one lucky winner will win an Amazon giftcard up to $100. The prize will depend on participation, so please share https://starlightps.org to as many people as possible to increase the prize. (This giveaway may be canceled if there is not enough participation.)
In order to qualify, you must 1) post at least 15 insights OR hints to problems on Starlight Problem Solving and 2) the hints/insights MUST be relevant to the problem. To draw a winner, we will select a random insight/hint over all insights/hints of people that qualify, so posting more insights increases your chance of qualifying. The raffle will end on September 20, 2023 at 04:00 AM UTC (click to view time in your timezone)
Now, posting insights/hints will help us build an AI platform to help problem solvers discover hints/insights on various competitive programming/math problems (Codeforces, AtCoder, DMOJ, etc) allowing them to learn from others AND find similar problems based on insights they struggled with helping them practice more effectively. In the future, we hope to create an AI to help predict key insights for problems and summarize the key insights needed to achieve a certain level in competitive programming.
