name your 3 weakest DSA topics right now. from memory. no sheet open, no stats page, just what you remember.
most people can't. i couldn't either, and i'd already solved 400+ problems at that point.
that gap is the whole reason GrindLens exists. not another streak tracker. it tracks what you've actually covered against what you've been quietly avoiding, and it comes with sheets, Blind 75, NeetCode 150, company-tagged sets, or your own, so the gap it finds turns into something you can actually go fix.
grindlens.dev — no signup wall to look around, log in with LeetCode and see where you actually stand.
Building it solo, in public, right now. Every redesign is one less thing that made it look like a template. If you use it and something's off, that's not a bug report, that's the roadmap. Tell me on LinkedIn or drop it in an email.
