We needed the frontend to feel alive — reacting to code, reflecting behavioral patterns, surfacing adaptive suggestions the moment the backend produced them. Building that in React across a weekend taught me more about real-time data flow than any tutorial ever had. That's what wiring a live AI mentor to a React app actually looks like. What We Built Our project is an AI Coding Practice Mentor — a system where users write Python solutions to coding problems, submit them, and receive personalized feedback driven by behavioral memory. The system doesn't ask users what kind of learner they are. It watches them code and figures it out. The stack: FastAPI backend ha
