## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 23/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 8, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 3125, "days_push": 719, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: none
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A VS Code extension that lets users browse, solve, and submit LeetCode problems directly inside the editor. It supports signing in to leetcode.com and leetcode.cn endpoints, picking problems, and testing solutions locally.

## Use cases
- practice leetcode problems inside vs code
- prepare for coding interviews with algorithm exercises
- browse and pick leetcode problems from the editor sidebar
- submit solutions to leetcode without leaving the editor
- solve data structure and algorithm questions locally

## When to choose
- you want an integrated IDE experience for LeetCode practice
- you prefer solving problems in your own editor with local test runs
- you use leetcode.cn or leetcode.com and want quick problem browsing

## When to avoid
- you need reliable leetcode.com login - the endpoint changed its login mechanism and only workarounds exist
- you want a standalone practice tool outside VS Code
- you need actively developed features - the project is largely in maintenance mode

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, editor
- domain: developer-tools, education
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: leetcode, vscode-extension, interview-preparation, competitive-programming, coding-practice, algorithms
