Inspiration

Probably 50 or more essays where I just really wanted someone to look at my paper and tell me what they think but where I don't know anyone in the class.

What it does

How I built it

• It's built on the Flask framework as a backend and uses JS/AJAX on the frontend to allow submitting edits to the server. It also uses SQLite on the server store all of the data.

Challenges I ran into

Hand-writing the AJAX requests can be a bit irksome.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

• Getting the highlighting and commenting system to work in a (fairly) intuitive way.

What I learned

• How to use AJAX for real time communication with a server.

What's next for Edit My Paper Pls

• Potentially UI improvements?
