Generate your calendar for courses at IIT Bhilai

iitbh-calendar's Issues

[Feature]AutoDeploy main on commit

Currently we have a deploy script to deploy the calender app , but it could be auto deployed on changes such as timings of classes

Better deployment script

The current version of deploy script needs to be manually edited in order to deploy. Create options that would automate this process to a single command.

Replace ambarvm/iitbh-calendar links with openlake/iitbh-calendar

They are used in the deploy script and star button in App.svelte

Course templates with common/recomended courses.

Most of the students follow the recomended courses in first four semesters, so we can add templates which these students can use to load the list of courses.

Warning about clashes in time table

It would be nice to add a feature that would inform the user if their course selection has clashing courses.

Data errors and changes in course slots

For all the courses in which slots have changed by professor but hasn't been changed in course list, add a comment here.

Option to download an editable file of Time Table.

The Time table generator doesn't provide an editable file. An excel file in which we can customise the same and add courses not available in the drop down list would be great to have.

Download the schedule in a readable format

Currently, the schedule is downloaded as a .ics file which we can directly add to our calendar. But this format is not readable by humans. So, to make it more helpful, we can add option to see/download the schedule as a table.

Course download fails for courses without proper room numbers without any notice.

Course download does not work for the courses which do not have proper room numbers such as courses having tutorial slots, lab courses and courses scheduled according to BTech 2022 schedule.

Moving from Tierce system to mid-sem/end-sem system

IIT Bhilai is switching to mid-sem/end-sem pattern from the previous tirece system. So app needs to be updated for the same.

Allow separate downloads of course and tierce calendars

Add checkboxes to select only course or tierce schedule.
If both checkboxes are disabled, disable the download button.

Customization options for timetable

Currently the calender uses hardcoded colors from gruvbox theme. It would be nice to give users ability to select colors themselves. Additionally user should have ability change various aspects like font size and style.

Store selected courses and settings in browser cache

Currently, if the person refreshes the page, the list of selected courses gets reset. We can avoid this by storing the courses in browser cache.

Using a database to store data

Currently, we are storing all the data, like course schedule, lecture slots, template courses, etc as json files. Due to this we have to create a commit everytime we want to change something in the data, eg. the class slot for the course is change.

It would be nice if the database structure is documented, this will make it easier for new contributers to get started.

Give users option to add custom courses

User should have option to add courses by specifying course slots, location, etc. This should be saved in the local storage for further use (#16 ). This will allow user to generate timetable if new courses are added, get timetable with changed slots, download calender with shortened names, etc.

Option to go back after clicking on Time Table

When clicking on Time Table, there's no option to go back, and reloading the page loses the choices selected. It would be nice to have an option to go back and have the choices we made stored in browser storage.
