Inspiration
The theme of "Educational Innovation", so we reflected on the common experiences that we shared as students that needed fixing. We all realized that we had fallen victim to not reading the instructions properly or not handing in the files for a submission in a proper format. Hence, we came up with the idea of Pre-Submit.
What it does
Pre-Submit takes a list of common requirements from professors and checks a submission directory against it. If the directory contains all the files and links that are required for a submission, it will let the user know, along with potential places where there could be an error (or errors where they appear).
How we built it
We tried building it using Electron/HTML/CSS/JS/Bootstrap.
Challenges we ran into
We faced a lot of challenges with this project, mainly in integrating JavaScript to do the things we needed and make CSS render the layout we wanted correctly. In the end, we were not able to complete the project within the time limit.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We learned a whole lot about the Electron/HTML/CSS/JS/Bootstrap stack, and in the end all knowledge is good knowledge.
What we learned
It would've been better to switch frameworks earlier on in the day potentially, and we wouldn't have gotten as burned out trying to troubleshoot everything.
What's next for Pre-Submit
We will hopefully continue developing it! It is a neat idea that everyone on the team believes could be quite convinent if it is implemented. We hope to expend free time into developping this project and someday releasing it to the public.
