  "account": "Hello, I'm a psychology student from the Philippines, although I previously studied computer engineering for three years. I still enjoy programming, which led me to create a web app called Unified Student Hub. The purpose of this project is to assist students in managing their schoolwork, organizing study materials, and planning their study time. While it's not finished yet, I wanted to share it and gather feedback.\n\nBeing a student comes with many responsibilities and deadlines, and often, assignments are scattered across different platforms and folders. This app aims to consolidate these tasks, making it easier for students to keep track of their deadlines and study schedules. The app allows users to add assignments, exams, and other deadlines, which are then organized by subject. It also features a weekly planner where users can input their availability, classes, and task estimates to generate a personalized study schedule.\n\nIn addition to the scheduling features, the app includes a PDF reader with highlighting and drawing tools, a place to store study materials, and the ability to import calendars and syllabi. Users can also enable optional reminders and access locally saved materials even when offline. The app is built using React and Vite for the frontend, FastAPI for the backend, PostgreSQL for the hosted database, and SQLite for local development.\n\nWhile the core features are in place, the design is still evolving, with a focus on simplifying the user interface and ensuring it's intuitive for first-time users. There are still bugs to be resolved and additional testing needed, but the main functionalities are functional. I'm currently seeking feedback from both students and developers to improve the app further. You can try the app at https://unified-student-hub-vg2s.vercel.app/ or find the source code on GitHub at https://github.com/cabauatanhans47-cyber/unified-student-hub.",

Before switching programs, I spent three years studying Computer Engineering. I still enjoy programming, though, so I've been continuing to learn on my own and working on different projects whenever I have the chance. One of…",
