The biggest threats to a student's success are distraction and time waste. With our web app and extension, they can keep track of the time they spend on various sites and hence monitor their productivity.
Users can create weekly timetables. The task to be done at the given time gets highlighted. The timetable can be downloaded as an image and shared using a link. Users can use someone else's timetable as their own as well. This will help learners stay focused on their goals. We also have a customized search engine to restrict the search results to educational sites to minimize time waste and distraction. We have private and group chats so the users can communicate with others without having to leave the site. Users can also collaborate on a real-time whiteboard to share their thought and pen down their ideas, with the option to create and join private rooms.
For some of us, it was the first time using MongoDB, so we ran into difficulties with storing and retrieving time spent by the users on websites, we also faced issues regarding authentication in both - the productivity extension and the main website, We faced multiple issues while implementing the chat features, Overall it was a great learning experience for us.
