Show HN: An open-source Socratic coach for competitive programming

I built a Chrome side-panel coach that reads the programming problem beside you and uses pointed questions to help you reach the solution yourself rather than simply revealing it.

The idea came from a competitive-programming class I took in high school to prepare for a nationwide contest. The most valuable part was discussing problems with an instructor who challenged my assumptions and approaches.

As models improve, I feel it is increasingly important that we continue learning and tackling hard problems independently. It’s open source, uses your own OpenAI API key, and has no backend or analytics. Support for more models are coming soon.
