The backend utilizes the Google Drive and Google Classroom APIs to fetch user data. I also used Python's difflib to implement a feature where teachers can view only the differences between the tem
On the frontend of this project, I used Tailwind CSS and htmx to facilitate rapid prototyping, and minimize code repetition. This choice also allowed me to dynamically inject UI browser extension from the backend, which has been pretty neat!
