🚨 Cheating is ruining live contests, and we decided to do something about it! 🚨 Competitive programming should be about skill, logic, and problem-solving—yet, in almost every live contest, we see rampant cheating. It's frustrating to see hard-working participants lose ranks because of unfair play. We couldn't just sit back and watch. That’s why my friend Kumar Aditya and I built similarity.in —a platform that accurately detects code similarity in live contests. It helps identify exact matches, making it easier for contest platforms and organizers to take action. 🔍 What Similarity offers: ✅ Instantly detects identical or highly similar submissions ✅ Provides an easy-to-follow flow for users ✅ Allows users to report suspicious participants But here’s where the real impact begins—our work takes a pause, and now it’s the community’s turn. 🚀 If you care about fairness in CP, use Similarity, share it, and report suspicious submissions. We’re eager to hear your experience using our platform—whether positive or negative, every bit of feedback helps us improve. We’re open to any suggestions! 💬 Why don’t you drop a comment about how many suspicious users you found listed on our website? I’m also tagging a few people who are active in CP and on LinkedIn—would love to hear your thoughts! #Leetcode #CP #Codechef #CodeForces #CompetitiveProgramming #FairPlay #CodeSimilarity #CPCommunity #EthicsInTech
