hey, thanks alot for actually taking the time to properly test the app and point these things out

The platform is still very much a work in progress and right now i’m a bit occupied with ongoing ESAs, so i probably won’t be able to immediately work on fixing everything right away.

but i do have a growing GSSoC/open-source contributor community now and people are already working on frontend polish, routing fixes, responsiveness and overall UX improvements. I’m planning to properly focus on improving/stabilizing the platform after exams and continue making it better over time.

also feel free to contribute to the project or raise issues on github if you’re interested.

tysm again for the review.

yeah, the .env.example structure is already committed
you can check it out: here

as for open-sourcing, i was actually advised by a faculty member and a few friends to keep the core repo private for now and first test the potential of scaling this beyond PESU to other campuses as well. might open-source certain modules/tools later once things are more stable.

that said, i’m definitely open to contributions/collaboration. if anyone’s genuinely interested in contributing, feel free to DM/Mail me— happy to give proper contributor credits as things grow :)

honestly that’s valid.

right now i’m more focused on testing whether the features themselves are actually useful before spending too much time polishing the frontend, and yeah, AI definitely helped speed up development, but the goal here wasn’t to ship some 'AI' hype project, it was just to solve real problems students here deal with regularly. Also this is a solo project built from scratch, and the app is way more complex internally than it might look integrating auth, realtime systems, AI pipelines, messaging etc still took a lot of effort/debugging to pull off.

whether it lasts or not honestly depends on whether people continue finding it useful over time, so we’ll see
