// tips for better results

Tips for Better Results

  • → Works on any platform where the problem is visible on screen: LeetCode, HackerRank, CoderPad, Codeforces, and more.
  • → Make sure the full problem is visible before scanning. Full-screen the browser if needed, or zoom out with Ctrl + - (Windows) / ⌘ + - (Mac) until the entire problem fits on screen.
  • → Multiple monitors: StealthCoder captures your primary display. Move the problem to your main monitor before scanning.
  • → Click the problem window first to focus it, then trigger the scan.
  • → Minimize sidebars, ads, and popups. A cleaner screen gives better results.
  • → Use the overlay to guide your thinking. Type out the solution yourself and adapt it.
For system design interviews, switch to StealthDesign mode with Ctrl + Alt + Shift + M. It follows the standard format: Requirements, Estimation, Design, Deep Dive, and Trade-offs.
