DSA, but it
actually clicks.

A pocket-sized DSA gym. Spaced repetition that knows what's broken, a skill tree that shows what unlocks next, and five interaction modes so you stop grinding the same problem and start understanding it.

VS THE GRIND

Stop grinding
problems like a list.

LeetCode-style platforms hand you a 2,000-problem feed and a stopwatch. DSAlingo hands you a structured route, knows where you're soft, and pulls you back to it before you forget.

01 · BLUEPRINT

The whole
map, in your
pocket.

Every topic — arrays, hashing, two-pointers, sliding window, trees, graphs, recursion, DP — is a node. Edges show what unlocks next, what you've earned, and which branches are quietly decaying.

02 · INTERACTION

Five formats. Same concept. No autopilot.

The system rotates the format based on your skill, your last miss, and how fresh the topic is. Same problem rarely shows up the same way twice.

TRACE MODE · STEP 3 / 6
What is i after this loop?
1  let i = 0;
2  while (i < arr.length) {

arr = [3, 7, 2, 11, 4]

Code mode supports the four languages most asked in interview loops.

03 · MEMORY

Forgets nothing.
So you can.

An SM‑2 review loop schedules the next pass on every concept based on how solidly you nailed the last one. Concept cards explain the structure behind the answer — recall is built on pattern recognition, not trivia.

05 · ROUTES

Three goals.
Three different routes.

Same content graph, different traversal. Pick the one that matches what you're actually trying to do.

LEARN01 / 03
Foundations

First serious pass through arrays, trees, graphs, recursion. Heavier on fill / arrange / trace before code-heavy reps.

Best for: people new to DSA
FAANG02 / 03
Interview Prep

Active interview cycles. Tight pacing, leaderboards, mock interviews, code-weighted lessons.

Best for: 4–12 weeks out
REFRESH03 / 03
Rapid Refresh

Compressed routes. Weak-topic resurfacing. Fewer onboarding steps.

Best for: returning engineers
TRY ONE

A real lesson,
right here.

One MCQ, no signup. The same routing logic schedules your follow-up after this — except the live app remembers.

SLIDING WINDOW · Q1EASY
What's the time complexity of the sliding-window maxSubArray after pre-sorting?

We're an algorithms-pilled, mobile-first team building DSAlingo nights and weekends. The waitlist is the alpha. We ship every two weeks and post the diff.

No. Duolingo is built around streak guilt and gamified vocab; LeetCode is a problem feed. DSAlingo is a content graph + a router. The streaks exist to keep you opening the app — the actual learning loop is structural: skill tree → format-rotated lessons → SM‑2 review.
Every concept node has an ease score (0–3) and a next-review timestamp, both updated by SM‑2 after every interaction. The router picks the highest-priority due node, then chooses an interaction format (MCQ / arrange / fill / trace / code) based on your last few responses on that topic.
Yes. The whole curriculum, your progress, and a local SM‑2 schedule sync to the device on first load. You can do a full daily review on a flight; everything reconciles when you reconnect.
Python, JavaScript, Java, and Dart. We picked the four most-asked across the interview-loop spreadsheet we keep. More on request once we're past wave 02.
Yes — foundations track + daily review is free forever. Interview-prep tracks, mock interview mode, and code-mode test packs sit behind a $9/mo subscription. Wave 01 waitlist gets the first year free.
We post a changelog every two weeks at /changelog. The waitlist email is the most reliable channel — we send a 4-line update the day each release ships.

Lock
it in.

The waitlist is the front of the line. First wave gets the alpha, the founders chat, and the next year free.
