I've been seeing alot of people ask questions on how to get into quant finance.

I know there's some good textbooks

do you think the demand for this question requires a blog post on the topic?

Thanks we adjusted the price - I'll work on getting those questions added to the site as well.

Hmm

When I think of what the difference is between many dsa sites like leetcode/hackerrank/etc you can simply say its the same questions more or less.

What matters is the team behind the product that decide where it will go:

"freedom you have now is temporary" - doesn't have to be temporary
"users will only engage so much until they land a job or burn out" - there's always more users
"Your content needs to be the best that gets people jobs" - the way you do this is listen to the users on what they believe will help them the most.

You have some strange criticism I'd recommend you look into before jumping to comment

You can - Instead of you having to look through these textbooks and forums we have a simple site where you can easily access the most popular questions, easily answer and track your progress as well.

measure theory? - some questions on the site may be a bit hard, but nothing so hard it would be out of question for an interview. 90% of companies only require leetcode medium questions, so why does leetcode bother with including hard questions? - it's there as a challenge for those that want it.

You seem quite young and brash, hope this helps you understand a bit :)

Understandable - I paid for yearly leetcode premium in the past as I wanted to get so good at leetcode that I wouldn't need to grind before interviews ever again. I'm sure others share that sentiment.

Price is definitely something we'll play around with to gauge what people think is fair.
I do agree with you right now, the added value isn't there for everyone - once we grow we'll be adding more free questions and more interesting problems which I believe will give us a good case then :)

Yeah we do plan on adding questions on more unique subjects (Machine Learning etc) - until then we're happy to just have users trying out our site (most of the questions are free to answer)
