In beta
Your code and
your notes,

The problem
To practice one DSA or system design problem, you open IntelliJ or VS Code, create a project, set it up, and only then start coding. Your notes end up in a different app. Backticks skips the setup. Open the site, write your code, run it, and explain it in markdown right beside it.
No IDE. No project setup. No second app.
