Updated Project: This project was started in August but did not have much functionallity. A lot of new functionallity has been added like the new pages, APIs and more.
Student is a clean, minimalist, powerful, open-source StudentVUE® client. Built by students, for students. It works by using reverse-engineered internal SOAP XML API endpoints from StudentVUE®, and reverse engineered JSON APIs (which have XML). It provides a much cleaner interface than the old interface using ASP.NET from the 2010s, with more features. It has more features than alternatives like GradeVUE (now GradeCompass) or GradeMelon, and has more features. It even includes weather integration. It’s coded using Next.js for the full stack web app, Typescript for the APIs, pages and APIs.

This project uses AI

Artificial Intelligence is used partially in helping in reverse engineering and some complex code. The app is not vibe coded, however.

Disable other buttons on the mock page to prevent users from accidentally clicking on other updates. Also adds support for Synergy servers hosted on a custom domain and upgrades the database.

I built Student because StudentVUE (a popular gradebook app in the US) is slow, clunky, and has a horrible UI (straight from the 2000s). I started by reverse engineering StudentVUE’s requests both on the mobile app and the site, and was able to make a better experience. The app also contains features not in the original app, like Hypothetical Mode, where you can calculate what a certain grade can give you and how it affects your grades. I spent over 50 hours coding the app and another 30 on reverse engineering (which isn’t reflected here). I also made it because alternatives like GradeMelon and GradeVUE (now GradeCompass) kinda suck and are missing a lot of features. This is the most powerful StudentVUE alternative yet. It’s also my most worked on project, and one of my most proud ships.

Added a Swagger page for API documentation (available at /docs) to make local development easier.

Added debug info to the settings page, which makes testing (without being technical) and diagnostics easier. This was because it was hard to ask the non-technical to give something like their gradebook data, or their credentials.

This devlog adds a scraped course history page. This is not publicly viewable, but is available hidden; it works by scraping code from a GET request to the site. I tried to use revere-engineered (spent like six hours debugging 🫠) SOAP APIs, but it seems like none exist.

Added weather to the calendar page, based on Open-Meteo data. It is better to make the student a centralized hub for your academic needs.

Added a new calendar page. The old page used the gradebook endpoint, and we made the assignments ourselves. The new page uses native Synergy calendar endpoints which provide more data like holiday, school notices and better assignment coverage.

This commit adds a privacy policy (to better gain trust), which is available at /privacy. I also added a mock mode, where you can have fake data to see what the app looks like (later reverted)

Added a theme selector and radius selector to customize your student appearance. This lets you change the accent colors and makes it more personalized.

Worked on revamping the UI to have a rounder, cleaner more modern look and move away from the “shadcn” aesthetic more.
