Overview

LeetCodeWidget is a lightweight Electron desktop widget that sits on your desktop and gives you a quick snapshot of your LeetCode progress — total solved, difficulty breakdown, and recent activity — without needing to open the browser.

Highlights

  • Compact always-available desktop widget
    Frameless, transparent Electron window that stays out of your way.

  • Comprehensive stats at a glance
    Displays total problems solved with Easy / Medium / Hard breakdown.

  • Daily activity tracking
    “Questions Solved Today” counter with a 7-day activity graph.

  • No login required
    Just provide your LeetCode username.

  • Efficient backend
    Uses LeetCode’s public GraphQL API via a small Node/Express backend.

New / Recent Improvements

Per-card loading state

  • Main stats card shows a subtle loading overlay with spinner while fetching data.
  • Prevents accidental interaction and makes background refreshes smoother.

Global loading screen

  • Full-screen loading view on cold start.
  • Transitions automatically to the widget once data is ready.

Window positioning

  • Opens near the top-left corner of the primary display with a small offset.
  • Predictable placement on multi-monitor setups while avoiding OS chrome/taskbars.

Theme toggle (light / dark)

  • One-click theme switcher.
  • UI and charts update together.
  • Easy / Medium / Hard colors adapt for better readability.

Legend view toggle

  • Toggle between:
    • Difficulty breakdown view
    • “Questions Solved Today” focused view
  • Collapsed mode highlights today’s solved count in a compact layout.

Auto-refresh of stats

  • Automatically refreshes every 5 minutes.
  • Manual refresh (when enabled) reuses the same loading logic.

Persistent username storage

  • LeetCode handle stored locally using electron-store.
  • Setup screen shown only once; subsequent launches load automatically.

Backend aggregation

The server aggregates:

  • Overall solved counts by difficulty.
  • Recent accepted submissions.
  • Unique problems solved per day.

Returns a normalized JSON payload used by the client to render:

  • Donut chart (difficulty breakdown)
  • 7-day activity line chart

Known Limitations

  • Data accuracy depends on the LeetCode GraphQL API and hosted stats server.
  • No offline mode — network access is required.
  • Auto-update and in-app backend configuration are not yet implemented.
