Inspiration

We wanted to promote learning through couch coding, by allowing for use on different couches.

What it does

• Breaks the metaphysical and theoretical barriers of distant-couch-cooperation
• Adds testing capabilities for code hosted on Google Drive
• Promotes learning and collaboration through a cloud environment

How we built it

• Google Apps Script (a lot of tears)
• NodeJS code interpretation/compilation backend

Challenges we ran into

Google Doc's DOM structure prevents easy manipulation of the text and other key features, so we found workarounds by constructing a code library with in-line javascript.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Submits code for compilation and execution
• Provides access to stdout and stderr

What's next for CouchCoder
