Description

Leetcode Clone is a web application aimed at helping developers practice coding problems and prepare for technical interviews. The platform provides a wide range of coding problems based on different topics and difficulty levels. It also offers mock technical interviews, interview preparation resources, and a community-driven discussion board for solutions.

This project is built using the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) stack, making it a full-stack application. It integrates with the YouTube API to fetch coding interview preparation videos and displays their thumbnails on the Technical Interview Preparation Resources page.

Tech Stack
