I built a fake VS code, to browse live cricket scores in my office!
Hello, fam
I hope you have had a great week 💃. Mine was splendid. This weekend, I built Cric-Code, which lets me browse Cricbuzz as a VS code editor. It makes me look like I am doing actual work!
Story behind Cric-Code
After the pandemic, I have been working from the office since Aug 2021. Unfortunately, some of my colleagues love to judge if I browse something else apart from my work.
To protect my love for ongoing T20 cricket world cup, I built Cric-Code, which lets me browse Cricbuzz as a VS code editor. It makes me look like I am doing actual work!
Cric-Code shows live scores, commentary, and full scorecard of all live, recent and upcoming matches as HTML and javascript files.

P.S. - Please try it out on Desktop, And allow me some time to work on the responsive-ness.
Updates.
Majority of the time I spent building Cric-Code this weekend. Don't forget to share if you have also built something cool.
Not to mention, my coding diary is completely on track and I have achieved day-37 so far. Going forward, I will be more systematic like 4 easy, 2 medium, 1 hard problem each week from a particular topic. Wish me luck 😛
I wrote a StackOverflow answer on Should I store JWT tokens in IndexedDB?
I was watching a random YouTube video, where one was asked about his income. One guy said, "I earn enough and half." I personally loved this line. So thought of sharing this!

Interview Question of the week. 📝
P.S. - This problem was asked by Twitter.
You run an e-commerce website and want to record the last N order ids in a log. Implement a data structure to accomplish this, with the following API:
record(order_id): adds the order_id to the log
get_last(i): gets the ith last element from the log. i is guaranteed to be smaller than or equal to N.
You should be as efficient with time and space as possible.
