Inspiration

Back in secondary school, many students in my area struggled to take online exams because of poor or no internet connection. Exams had to be postponed or moved entirely offline, but there was no proper system to manage them. It often required someone with technical skills to manually set things up.

That experience inspired me to build LearningDeck — a platform that works both online and offline, so exams can still happen smoothly, even in areas with limited internet access. It’s built to be easy to use, secure, and reliable for schools anywhere.

🛠 How we built it Frontend: React.js for the web dashboard, Electron.js for the desktop app.

Backend: Node.js with Express.js handles API requests and logic.

Database: PostgreSQL for cloud storage and SQLite for offline, local storage.

Other Tools:

TailwindCSS for UI

Framer Motion for animations

Local API server for offline exam management

Git & GitHub for collaboration and version control

⚔️ Challenges we ran into Designing a system that works offline without compromising security.

Building a local API that syncs data safely when reconnected to the internet.

Ensuring smooth collaboration between multiple teachers editing the same exam.

Creating a secure exam environment with lockdown and anti-cheating features.

Balancing scalability with device performance, especially in low-resource settings.

🏆 Accomplishments that we're proud of Successfully implemented full offline exam support.

Built a local API server that hosts exams without internet.
