What's New
System design interviews are now fully supported. loqra detects system design questions and surfaces structured hint cards covering architecture patterns, trade-offs, and the step-by-step design framework.
Changes
System Design Hint Cards
When a system design question is detected, loqra surfaces a structured card walking you through the recommended approach:
- Clarify requirements — functional and non-functional
- Capacity estimation — traffic, storage, bandwidth
- High-level design — block diagram with core components
- Deep dive — database, caching, message queues
- Failure modes — bottlenecks and resilience
Topic-specific cards are also available for: databases (SQL vs. NoSQL, CAP theorem), caching (Redis, TTL, invalidation), APIs (REST, gRPC, message queues), and CDNs.
Improved Coding Hints
Coding hints now include time and space complexity analysis for each suggested approach, making it easier to compare options and proactively discuss complexity with the interviewer.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed hints not loading when internet connection was slow at session start
- Fixed session timer showing incorrect elapsed time after tab switching
