A failed project that did not make it to the finalists in the Technology Euphoria 2023 Competition and IDN ITFEST 2023. Here's the proposal if you're interested (Techporia), and IDN ITFEST 2023.
Straight A is an innovative web app that brings study planning to the next level. It is designed to assign and arrange study sessions based off of evaluation of previous study sessions. It tries to evaluate and understand the learning patterns of the user to generate the best possible schedule for the maximum outcome.
It is an assistive web app to coach students to learn independently.
Proposal mostly covers the references needed to create an MVP, but it has been poorly written and done in a hurry (we're supposed to participate in the competition 2 months prior to work on the project, but we registered 2 weeks before the deadline lol, I guess that explains how this project didn't get through).
The proposal contains references and a basic algorithm to schedule and arrange study sessions for the user based on previous study sessions. I believe It's pretty good considering it's written in just two weeks.
The current implementation uses Next.js 13 with the app directory, featuring prisma as the ORM, though operations like complex aggregation and such are implemented with custom SQL queries, and a full redux frontend powered with RTK Query.
It currently implements basic functionalities of the actual web app itself like creating materials and doing study sessions. The actual algorithm for determining the schedule is almost finished, but not working yet.
I ended the development of Straight A because the proposal didn't get accepted into Technology Euphoria 2023's finals. But right after that, in about a few weeks later, IDN decided to held the next annual ITFEST, the IDN ITFEST 2023 competition, a competition of which I won 3rd place before! (see my repo iyxan23/idn-itfest-prognosis).
Seeing this opportunity, I decided to join in to take on this challange to become 1st place. But disaster struck, well more of an other opportunity... I got accepted to be one of select students to teach abroad at Malaysia, and the time kinda clashes with ITFEST. Since ITFEST requires us to submit a proposal first to get into the semifinals, once we've got to that stage, we are given roughly a week to work on the website and submit it.
It's the same mechanism with Technology Euphoria 2023, the difference is that ITFEST prohibits us from using any form of framework/library, of where I can't just submit this repo to them, and I of course had to rework the website to using only Javascript and localStorage shenanigans.
I had the same plan as Techporia, to work on the website in parallel. I wanted to work on the website at the time we're waiting for the results of our proposal. But that can't happen, since I got into this rollercoaster ride to Malaysia!
At the end, we actually got into the semifinals, which kinda shocked me a bit! But then we don't have any website to submit, and I'm busy at Malaysia. We are acutally composed of a team of 3, me being the leader. Because I wasn't present with my team at the time, we couldn't coordinate properly, and the rewrite ended up being dismissed, effectively forcing us to submit the nextjs version to IDN ITFEST.
Nonetheless though, the lessons I've learned from this project is a lot!
First, run the development server:
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
bun devOpen http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font.
