Customizing the BaekjoonHub Chrome Extension

Why I Ended Up Customizing BaekjoonHub

As I started using Baekjoon more seriously, I discovered the BaekjoonHub extension.
It was convenient because it could automatically upload solutions to GitHub, but there were still several pain points for my actual workflow.

So I first checked issues in the official repository.
I found that people with similar concerns already existed, and there were PRs proposing related features. However, at that time, it did not look like those features would be merged soon, so I decided to customize what I needed instead of waiting.

Original repository: https://github.com/BaekjoonHub/BaekjoonHub
Custom repository: https://github.com/0AndWild/baekjoonhub_custom

Pain Points I Had

Upload paths were based on the repository root, which made it hard to fit my project structure
Tier paths were not granular enough, making problem organization less clean
Problem directory names were awkward to use as package/path names
I sometimes had to manually align Java file names with the runtime entry point (Main.java)
It was difficult to organize and upload already solved problems in one shot

What I Changed in My Custom Version

Added Base Directory support
Split tier paths into granular levels like Bronze/V
Normalized problem directory names
Fixed Java file name to Main.java and auto-inserted package
Added bulk upload for all accepted Baekjoon problems

Wrap-up

This customization was focused less on adding many new features,
and more on reducing repetitive friction in the actual solve-and-organize workflow.

Since similar requests already existed in the official repository, I think this customization direction could be useful for others with the same pain points.
