New Leetcode UI

[varun-s22]

Here is a temporary solution to this problem, using merely DOM manipulation.
I tried to edit the code in the same file, but there were some functions which are not written asynchronously, but their intended work is the to produce the async effect.

I created a new file called newLeetcode.js, which has all these synchronous functions, for the newer version of Leetcode,
There are certain major updates awaiting this like:

• Removing setTimeOut, setInterval, etc and making them async functions
• Migrating from manifest v2 to v3, as its been deprecated in 2023
• Refactoring a lot of code.

But currently here is the future work, as this solution lacks these features:

• Currently this only pushes ReadMe (i.e question title, description.etc), and the solution, the Notes.md is not supported.
• The difficulty of the problem is not available in the DOM, so in this PR, we don't show the difficulty
• The questions from explore section are not considered.
• The normal questions/solutions are being pushed only once.

The problems faced are:

• Difficulty of the question is not available on the submission page DOM, so one can't just fetch it. One possible solution to it can be scanning the main(description) page of the question, and then storing the difficulty in the storage (more of a local storage).
• The readme and the accepted code were being repeatedly uploaded to Github, as there is no workaround this. In previous UI, the successTag has only 1 class, and then after submission 2 classes are present. We can catch the one time uploading here (in the previous UI), but in this new UI, we don't have such a element to have a check. One workaround solution was to keep a check on code element, and the re-routing, as the page re-routes first, and then loads these components, so we may have a window for one-time execution, but again we were fetching the language/statistics of the solution, from the solution page, and so this fails.
• Migrating from v2 to v3, may lead to a local undefined error in chrome.storage.local.

These issues/future work shall be addressed in a new PR, but for the time being, here is the output

@QasimWani would you please review this?

what are the changes done in this js file?

[varun-s22]

These were basically DOM manipulation changes that I fixed with the new UI, but since i had to run it parallel with the old UI, i made a new file called newleetcode.js, which had the same boilerplate as leetcode.js , the old UI file, but with different methods and member functions. There is one major problem as discussed in the PR, which if someone helps me with, I can fix it. I have found the fix for difficulty tag of the problem and this can be migrated to v3 in the next PR, but for now, i want to address the 2nd issue.
Feel free to merge this in the dev branch, and later we can merge it to main

hey @sandeepk97 what do u think about merging these changes?

[Ross-Finnegan]

Any update on this MR?

[yuletide]

Any updates? Looks like there are two competing PRs to fix this, the other had some activity from the author last month

[varun-s22]

This PR was never reviewed, so there was no further development. :(
I'll try to add some changes, but until and unless no one reviews them, all i can do is wait.

hey @abhinav7sinha, thanks for approving the changes.. if there's still no progress on this issue.. i can update this PR, and start working on this. although merging is blocked and requires a review from those with write access

Oh, right @varun-s22 I don't think it's a good idea to work on it until someone with write access approves it. Hopefully, it happens soon. This is a fairly useful project, and it will be a shame if it's not maintained well
