Cognita Study App

Cognita Study App Devlog 7 - Started to work on Classroom logic

After finishing up personal deck, public decks, and user logics, I decided to move on to the classroom game feature. Basically it is kinda like blooket where you can host live game with everyone in the class. Right now it is a work in progress with some errors, but the progress is looking good so far!

Cognita Study App Devlog 6 - Fixed Users Issue

Due to the recent firebase oauth login setup, some errors were caused by the paywalls from firebase. For some reason, when certain users signup at a certain time, the app doesn’t record them as users in the database and doesn’t save their preferences. I quickly recovered and fix the issue though, so all errors should be gone by now! I did this by building a sync button in my devdashboard to make sure to sync users’ data. The trick was setting the backup users as “admin” but then restricting what “admin” meant- because actual admins require another email verification, giving the “admin” status only bypasses the firebase walls rather than giving free admin statuses to other users. In the meantime, I also edited the firebase API key for oauth that was outdated.

Cognita Study App Devlog 5 - Cloned New Repo for Public Viewing.

Unfortunately, the original Repo of the app has old commits that include accidentally leaked API keys, so I had to create a clone of the Repo without those commits. However, this also deleted all of my past history. I added my commit history that was erased onto the README for public viewing.

Cognita Study App Devlog 4 - Updated 404 error page as well as Documentation on security practices!

In order to protect the app and list out security practices, I built a new “Documentation” page that clearly lists the app’s guidelines. I also listed the official domains of the app to protect users from fake sites. In addition, I also updated the 404 page to be more lively and fun!

Cognita Study App Devlog 3 - Continuing the UI update as well as updating features for usability

I figured that my app was cluttered- especially my home page. So I decided to edit my home page to include only the core features up front with an easy access search bar so users can easily find things around the app. I also designed my own “ad” to place on the sign in page- it is lowkey nice looking tbh.

Cognita Study App Devlog 2 - UI UPDATE!

Cognita Study was a project I built prior to the Stardance Challenge. For Devlog 2, I have updated a few more features adding on from Devlog 1. I updated the UI for the signin page as well as the home page to ‘match’ leading study app designs (Quizlet, etc.). I also fixed some broken database logic for logins as well as Profile pictures and bios.

Cognita Study App Devlog 1 - FULL APP UPDATE!

Cognita Study was a project I built prior to the Stardance Challenge, so at that time my app originally was a simple study app capable of a few features such as flashcards view, quiz, etc before Stardance started. By now I have completely changed the UI, connected to Firebase Database for user storage, added Gamification modes, Advanced Tools for each subject, AP Exam Prep, State Test prep, and added my own Custom APIs to support all AI tools within my app. Unfortunately, that also meant around 30 hours of coding wasn’t logged from before..

Well, nevertheless, I continued to build and update my app to include these new helpful features. There are 45+ different features and counting now! I made this project to help my fellow students from my school originally, but seeing it’s success I really wanted to push my app to another scale.

What was really hard for me while updating the app included debugging Firebase Database storing data framework and also connecting my app to a API-chain (where I have multiple AI models support each other).

Now that I have successfully completed those changes, I just have one more error to fix for now- the loading times are too long. I believe the error is due to the problem where the app tries to load everything at once- I’ll probably just make it load things in a step flow.

Finally, for the project, I really hope you guys would try it out! It has really helped me and my classmates and I’m sure it could help you all too!
