SnapGrade ⚡

**AI-Powered - 🔄 Actual AI-powered bubble sheet recognition

  • 🔄 Real camera integration for scanning
  • 🔄 Computer vision processing
  • 🔄 Database integration for real data
  • 🔄 Production-ready deployment

🌍 Open Source Vision

SnapGrade is designed to be an open source solution for educators worldwide.

While this started as a personal learning project, the goal is to develop a truly free, accessible AI-powered grading tool that can help teachers everywhere save time and improve their workflow. Commercial grading solutions are often expensive and out of reach for many educators - this project aims to change that.

🤝 Collaboration Welcome

We believe the best educational tools are built by the community, for the community. Whether you're:

  • 👩‍💻 A developer interested in AI/ML, computer vision, or web development
  • 👨‍🏫 An educator with insights into grading workflows and pain points
  • 🎨 A designer passionate about educational UX/UI
  • 🧪 A researcher working on educational technology or computer vision
  • 📝 A technical writer who can help with documentation

Your contributions are valuable and welcome!

Next.js TypeScript Tailwind CSS GSAP License

🚧 This is a work-in-progress project for practicing Next.js, React, and TypeScript development. The AI functionality is not yet implemented, but you can explore the demo flow to see how the finished app will work.

📋 Project Status

Current State: Frontend prototype with demo functionality
Purpose: Learning and practicing modern web development
Next Phase: Implementing actual AI/computer vision technology

What's Working Now:

  • ✅ Complete UI/UX design and animations
  • ✅ Demo flow showing how the app will work
  • ✅ Responsive design and PWA features
  • ✅ Authentication system setup
  • ✅ Dashboard and analytics mockups

What's Coming Later:

  • 🔄 Actual AI-powered bubble sheet recognition
  • � Real camera integration for scanning
  • 🔄 Computer vision processing
  • 🔄 Database integration for real data
  • 🔄 Production-ready deployment

🎯 Try the Demo

Experience the app concept and explore the user flow:

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+
  • npm or yarn
  • Modern web browser

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/adiluexe/snapgrade.git

# Navigate to project directory
cd snapgrade

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start development server
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 to explore the demo.

Demo Features

  • Landing Page - Complete marketing site with animations
  • Authentication Flow - Sign up/sign in pages (demo only)
  • Dashboard - Mockup of the main application interface
  • Demo Mode - See how the scanning and grading process will work
  • Sample Data - Explore analytics with mock student data

Note: No actual AI processing happens yet - this is all frontend simulation to demonstrate the intended user experience.
