Inspiration

The inspiration came from the bionic reading font, which forces the first half of a word to be bold. This has been shown to help people with ADHD focus because our brain autofill the second half of the word when we see the first half. We branched out from implementing this feature and added more functionalities that help people concentrate on readings and enhance the learning experience.

What it does

Studybox is a toolbox Google Chrome extension that helps convert normal text to the bionic reading font, highlight text that also moves along, as well as provide basic GenAI tools that are meant to help with studying habits. These GenAI tools help with summarizing texts and creating practice problem sets.

How we built it

The application was built with the very basics, with JavaScript, HTML, CSS as our frontend, and Node.JS and Google Gemini as our backend.

Challenges we ran into

A challenge that we ran into was dealing with PDFs vs. actual web pages and understanding how Google Chrome extensions works, since it's our first time working with it. Merging all four features so they can run one at each time without conflicting each other also took some time to work with.
