[FEATURE] Display current user's rank even when outside the visible leaderboard range

[CopperFlame14]

Feature Description

Currently, the leaderboard only displays the top-ranked users. Users who are not within the visible leaderboard range cannot easily determine their own ranking without manually searching through the entire dataset.

Problem

When a user's rank falls outside the displayed leaderboard entries, there is no indication of their current position. This makes it difficult for users to track their progress and compare themselves against others.

Proposed Solution

Display the logged-in user's rank separately from the main leaderboard, even if they are not among the top-ranked users.

Possible implementations:

• Show a pinned card displaying:
  • Current Rank
  • Score
  • Problems Solved
• Display the user's row at the bottom of the leaderboard with an indicator such as:

Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm not sure this is something we need at the moment.

Users are already able to locate their position on the leaderboard using the existing search functionality, and additional entries can be viewed using the current "Load More Users" feature (with pagination in progress).

More importantly, the platform currently does not have any login or authentication system, so there is no concept of a "current user" that could be identified and displayed separately.

If you have a specific implementation in mind that doesn't rely on authentication and solves a problem not already covered by search/load-more functionality, feel free to elaborate further. Otherwise, I don't think this feature is necessary in its current form.

Hi
I understand the concern regarding the lack of authentication and the existing search/load-more functionality. I was wondering whether a solution based on a user-entered LeetCode username (rather than a logged-in user) would be considered useful, or if you feel the current functionality already covers that use case.

I'd appreciate your thoughts before working on an implementation.

Thanks!
