CodeQuest

A Flask-based web application designed to help students organize, track, and manage their coding practice in one place.

Overview

As I started solving coding problems regularly, I realized it was difficult to keep track of what I had solved, what I needed to revisit, and how my progress was improving over time.

CodeQuest was built to solve that problem. It provides a simple and organized platform where users can manage their coding journey, maintain records of solved problems, and stay consistent with practice.

• Track Problem-Solving Progress
• Session Management
• SQLite Database Integration
• Clean and Responsive User Interface
