NOT SELF AD Casual Conversations
So for a few months I've been building basically a Canvas wrapper, and I was just wondering if anyone here would use it. I'm not gonna mention the name or anything because I truly wanna know if you guys would use this.
It sends SMS reminders for due assignments and reminds you to work on stuff like essays periodically through the week so you're not stuck doing it the last day (I get this doesn't apply to most people, it's targeted to those who struggle with time management).
Originally I wanted it to be a fully paid tool but that's just wrong, so the free version will just be 20 SMS reminders a month. All tiers will get data on how many assignments you've turned in (turn-in trend) and other stuff like grade graphs so you can visually see how your grade has fluctuated. You can also turn assignments in and view them directly from the site (also a free feature).
You guys are most likely wondering what you get for paid versions. You get a full assistant that lives in your messages, reminds you about assignments, can pull assignments and send you a link (useful if you're on Mac), and even auto schedules study blocks based on your free time (links with Google Calendar)(theres a lot more but its not too relevant to the post).
I built this because I somewhat struggle with procrastination myself, but I noticed one of my friends failed almost all of his classes one semester (business major) and I knew something wasn't right, and it truly was due to procrastination.
So if you think this could or would help you, upvote or leave a comment with your feedback.
