“Xin chào!” Greetings from Vietnam! @ImLuke , a 17-year-old who is curious about technology and enjoys exploring new things in my free time. I want to participate in Stardance because my current laptop is about to break down, and I’m determined to work hard for the chance to get a new one!

Q: What did I make? - A: As you can see, learning IELTS nowaday is becoming much more expensive, making it harder for youngster, whose need that certification the most for their study career, to afford it. So I have made IELTS Only, the completely free IELTS learning & practicing platform that can help people to study IELTS easily.
Q: What was challenging? - A: There were a lot of challenges that I faced when doing this project, such as coding, fixing bugs. But the hardest thing is the imitation of real IELTS interface, I need to research a lot on it.
Q: What am I proud of? - A: I proud of myself because I have done something good for the social and learn a lot of value lesson.
Q: What should people know so they can test my project? - A: You just simply click on the “Try project” button below, it will direct you to my website (It kinda lag… im dont have much money to buy a web hosting sr…)

Recently, I have optimized the website by some of the useful trick I learned on Instagram like instead of showing the loading spin, we can use skeleton loading to make user think it will be more faster to load,…

IELTS Only - Version 0.12.0 - Grammar Practice Interface Update

After hours and hours, Reading section still in progress but i kinda bored. So I have changed to build Grammar Interface instead. I really like the interface of Duolingo so I tried to build almost as same as its interface (don’t worry I will not copy 100%). It still in progress and I hope to finish it soon!

Hii guys! I’m Luke, and this is T”eXpress” (a little wordplay between “TeX” and “Express” kinda cool, right? 😄).

T”eXpress” is a Slack bot that helps you render TeX formulas into beautiful images, making them easier to understand and more visually appealing. You can quickly add these formulas to your homework, reports, or presentations in a clean and professional way!

Besides rendering formulas, it can also help you solve equations with unknowns, making it easier to check whether your solutions are correct and whether you have found all possible answers. And when you’re bored, you can explore different mathematical formulas and discover the “beauty of mathematics” 😅.

The biggest challenge of this project was probably the image rendering process. I had to do a lot of research with Google and ChatGPT to figure out how to properly render LaTeX formulas into images. Other parts were relatively familiar to me since I already had experience with Python.

The thing I’m most proud of about this project is that it can make learning easier for students. I believe it can be a really useful tool for subjects like Math, Physics, and Chemistry, where complex formulas appear frequently and need to be presented clearly.

IF YOU WANT TO TRY MY PROJECT

On the Stardance Hack Club Slack, you can join the #texpress-bot channel or invite my bot using: /invite @TeXpress

/texpress
Example: /texpress \frac{a+b}{c}
→ Renders your TeX formula into an image. You can also choose between dark mode, light mode, and transparent mode depending on your preference.

/tsolve
Example: /tsolve (x-67)*(x+67)=0
→ Helps you solve equations and find all possible values of x, no matter how many solutions there are.

/trandom
→ Helps you explore interesting mathematical formulas and applications that you might not know yet, such as the Mean of a Poisson Distribution or Sample Variance. (Some of them were new discoveries for me too! 😄)

IELTS Only - Version 0.9.0 - Reading Dashboard Update

The Reading dashboard just got a fresh new look ✨

Tests are now easier to browse with clearer passage filters, useful details at a glance, and quick filtering by progress, source, or question type. I also added custom pixel-art covers to give each passage a bit more personality.

A few small details are still being polished, but the dashboard is now cleaner, faster, and much more fun to use.

IELTS Only - Version 0.7.16 - The Editor Update

I change from Quill into Tiptap for more features and more easy to use! Love it because I can easily modify text like Word/Google Docs instead of using Markdown which is quite hard for low-tech people

P/S: Do you think ⭐️ STARDANCE should have an update like me:)?

IELTS Only - Version 0.7.14 - IELTS Reading Test Creation Portal Update

This is the hardest part so far, I’m very struggling with this because I need to think what to design to make it simple, so for the low-tech people, they can still easily use it.

0.7.0: Changed the Single and Multiple Choice selection buttons from blue to IELTS Only red.
0.7.1: Added dropdown answer selection directly beside each heading in Matching Headings questions.
0.7.2: Made dropdown answer limits and important instructions bold and easier to notice.
0.7.3: Redesigned Sentence Completion with one flexible text editor instead of separate sentence inputs.
0.7.4: Added automatic blank detection using [] placeholders inside completion-question content.
0.7.5: Limited the answer fields to exactly match the number of [] blanks detected in the text.
0.7.6: Applied the same flexible text-and-placeholder system to Summary, Note, and other completion question types.
0.7.7: Removed unnecessary content containers from question types that do not require 0.7.8: formatted passage content.
0.7.9: Started designing an Excel-like editor for creating custom Table Completion layouts.
0.7.10: Started designing a visual flowchart builder for Flow-chart Completion questions.
0.7.11: Started designing a simple paint-style canvas for Diagram Labelling and Completion questions.
0.7.12: Reviewed the entire Reading Test Creation Portal to improve consistency, clarity, spacing, and usability.
0.7.13: Simplified labels, controls, and workflows so first-time and low-tech users can create questions more easily.
0.7.14: Reduced repetitive inputs and automated as many complicated setup steps as possible.

IELTS Only - Version 0.6.3 - Real IELTS Reading Interface Update

- 0.6.0: Build the exact interface of IELTS Reading test

I researched on Google but cannot found any real IETLS Reading interface. Luckily, on YouTube, IDP has posted the instruction for doing Reading in computer-based system which including the real IELTS Reading interface in the video. So I build side-by-side with that.

- 0.6.1: I made the hamburger icon work! Now user can change the theme or text size like official IELTS test.

- 0.6.2: I made a small change in the lower board, user can watch time and adjust the volume that best fit to the user (I know Reading does not contain any sound but anyway in the actual IELTS it also included it)

- 0.6.3: I researched on Google and found that IELTS does not allow to find (Crtl/Command + F) so I make the system listen to that key to prevent it perform find. Copy-paste still works!
