Show your problem solving skills with an embeddable Google Kick Start badge. Embed your badge on your blog, code repository, forum, email signature...

Note: This web app is currently deployed on a Heroku free plan. Therefore, application goes to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity, thus it is expected that there will be some lag when application wakes up and possible some timeouts. If there is interest, we can move it to paid plan or self host it.

I started competing on Kick Start in late 2019 because I wanted to practice problem solving and to learn new programming languages. Lately I have been playing around in Java and Spring framework. Actually, this is my first project with Spring Boot framework, and you are most welcome to do a code review and suggest any improvements.
