Major change in LC submission history - Questions + Contests
180

After months of solving LC problems, I find the following to be a little frustrating:
1. Suggestion: LC should list ALL submitted code for contest questions for users to directly view solutions in their preferred language. You can find out which solution hit the 100% percentile in your language. No need to only rely on 'Discussion section' solutions.

After solving Contest questions, I'm not able to view ALL previous submissions by ALL users. In C_O_D_E_C_H_E_F there is a VERY helpful feature that allows users to view all submitted solutions & filter solutions by your language of choice. As I use Py for code, I often run through the TLE and then see ways to improve. Yes, some helpful users share their solutions in Discuss section. But wouldn't it be better to ALSO view all accepted solutions? You could be coding in Scala (a very promising up and coming language) or Kotlin/Rust/PHP and you might find some solutions submitted. I observe very few solutions from Scala/Ruby/Rust/PHP in the Discuss section

  1. Suggestion: Add that feature to all problems, not just the Contest section.

You're all working super hard on some problems, and you'd like to see a lot of problem stats. Some of you folks preparing for top interviews, wouldn't the varied approaches interest you? Seeing how the different approaches work would be helpful. Bless the folks who share their approaches in the Discuss section, but let's access all the best solutions from the accepted list. Any mistake by LC that causes solutions to end up in TLE, at least for a specific language? That happened in C_O_D_E_C_H_E_F multiple times for Py users and it was super frustrating.

Viewing all solutions, especially accepted ones would greatly enhance our efforts in delivering the best solutions and advance our careers/ learning and fulfil our quest for excellence.
