Hi coders! Excited to announce the upgrades to the ACD Ladders, now the website hosts;

[Please view on PC and not a phone]

  1. ACD Ladders -> this is still the default landing page and can be accessed here

  2. Advanced problem filters -> this hosts some geeky advancede filters for the latest problems from codeforces and can be accessed here

  3. ACD Ladders+ adv filters -> this combines 1 & 2 and can be accessed here

you can join the discord server for your DSA/CP journey! Would like to thank himanshu3889 for his amazing contribution for these new upgrades! I hope these upgrades add some more value to your CP journey! :)

If you have any doubts regarding the algorithm being used to populate the ladder then please check this out: here

If you have been using ACD Ladders for a while do let us know how effective has it been, or if there's anything which can be improved in the ladders :)

Call me a hater or whatever, but what is the difference between this "ladder" and going to the codeforces problemset and using the filter?

    This one recommends problems that helped the solvers rank up , tho I dont know if this is better than just solving problems randomly or not , I wonder the results from other people

      Maybe I'm a bit biased, but I think a person sorting by most solves for a chosen rating gives almost the same result. I just see this as another person's attempt to create yet another "CP sheet".

      Agreed! The common feedback I got was that the ladders is good enough for knowing the stuff you'll need to level up, the only missing thing is the increasing constructiveness of cf problems, hence for that one should either keep giving contests (maybe virtually) or can random upsolve a few recent problems.

    There are more than thousand problems in every rating . you can't solve them all and you don't even need to solve. The problems in the ladders are taken after a lot of research on various kinds of criteria.

        There's an algo which populates that ladders which is based on data points of 60k+ coders. which you could've gone through (as it was mentioned in the blog post itself) before commenting here for upvotes/being humilated. But yeah I would be a clown to expect any level of maturity from a troll account/bigSchrodinger!

          I did read the population thing and it still doesn't make any difference. Anyways, enjoy marketing yourself to gullible Indians.

                Ah shit man! I bet you are from NIA/CID how else would you have a SS from a public channel of a public server, which has ~8k members.

                Anyway on a serious note, I don't think "revenge bullying" would be the correct word here, if you check the message I posted on this blog, I just tried to correct him and called him a troll account which is nowhere close to the things he posts most of the times on CF and had posted on some of my posts earlier(I accept that I probably was new to social media/blogs back then hence had no experience with trolls which kinda made me feel bad thereby I had deleted the post).

                As far as the revenge is concerned I for sure feel great trying to give it back to people who have least respect for the community, who just exist for the purpose of trolling.

          You can't expect someone to do "REASERCH" on something when he himself is outcome of some failed "EXPERIMENTS".

    Only If you had a brain bigger than your username, you could get the difference.

      I can't answer for the rest but for me I had a previous account in which I solved many easy problems, I left it completely and wanted to make a new fresh start with only harder problems, and to see how my stats are different after such change. I don't want to solve same problems on both accounts. Maybe some people do the same thing, hence I can't answer for others.
