Marauder Bot vs SkillForge

Marauder Bot is an innovative AI-powered Chrome extension designed to revolutionize the way developers, students, and professionals prepare for technical interviews. By seamlessly integrating into your browsing experience, it acts as a side panel that automatically detects all open web pages, displaying their titles and URLs across different Chrome windows. With just one click, users can select any open page and allow Marauder Bot to analyze its technical questions. This tool excels in handling a variety of technical challenges, from complex algorithmic problems to tricky multiple-choice quizzes. The extension leverages advanced AI models to parse content, identify relevant questions, and provide detailed analyses and solutions. This unique combination of convenience and cutting-edge technology enables users to save precious time in their interview preparation, focusing instead on mastering real-world coding problems effectively. With its stealth mode feature, users can operate discreetly, making it an invaluable asset for anyone looking to ace technical interviews and assessments.

I built SkillForge because I kept running into the same problem — I'd practice audio production or graphic design for a few days, then completely lose the habit with zero record of my progress. Every productivity app I tried was either too generic or made for corporate project management, not for creatives who just want to get better at their craft.

The core idea was simple: what if practicing your skill felt like levelling up in a game?

So I built a skill tracker where every minute you practice earns real XP, builds streaks, and unlocks badges. The more you show up, the more you level up — from Level 1 to Level 10 across any creative discipline you choose (audio, design, dev, video, photography, and more).

What surprised me most during development was how much the AI Coach feature resonated with early testers. Instead of just logging time, the AI analyzes your session history and tells you exactly what to work on next — it noticed patterns in people's practice that they hadn't noticed themselves.

A few things I'm proud of:
🔥 Streak system that actually keeps you accountable
🤖 GPT-4o-mini powered coaching that builds you a personalised 7-day plan
📶 Fully offline-first — your sessions save locally and sync when you reconnect
👥 A community feed so you're not grinding alone

This started as a personal tool and grew into something I genuinely use every day. I'd love to hear what you think — especially from fellow creatives.
