Changelog

Work on open-source: I plan to have most of this project open-sourced. However, I am on the fence about releasing everything because I am considering making an incentive for sponsors who want to donate to support the project. This project was all paid out of pocket, and any donations could help gain more data as well as improve the server.

Eliminate need for paginated course/instructor line chart: Due to how dynamic calculations of average GPA is made, the legend of the chart is not being formatted properly. This required a temporary solution of having a dedicated full view page of the chart for courses that have too many instructors/courses.

Mobile Responsiveness: I haven't had time to make the site usable on mobile devices, but hope to work on it in the future

Course/Instructor Catalog: Rather than just searching for an instructor/course, I plan on making a hub page where all available courses and instructors are listed for browsing.
