Today I worked on APIVUE, the Flask API server that fetches data from StudentVUE to fetch data, the code is avaliable at https://github.com/aramshiva/APIVUE and is standalone from Student to allow for others to use the API to power there own projects or StudentVUE replacements.
Student is a new StudentVUE client replacement. StudentVUE is slow, old, and clunky. Student pulls data from StudentVUE to create a cleaner and faster UI. This project relies on two key components: Student (the Next.js client GUI for fetching data from StudentVUE) and APIVUE (the Flask API Server that handles all requests).
In an effort of a more simple UX, Nomen has a new feature: Search Modes!
Search modes are an easy way to do different type of searches for names! The first search is the compare mode (retiring the compare page), it allows you to put two names and compare them against each other to see how popular one name is versuses an other. AI was partially used but no new code was generated, it was just used to move code (because I diddn't want to move it manually), the rest of the new code is all manually done!
added back a guestbook where people can sign and say hello via GitHub integration. You should sign it! https://aram.sh/guestbook
This was widely regarded as a great move by everyone.
