ExSight

ExSight (Exchange Insights) is a Next.js web app made to help EPFL sophomores choose their exchanges.

Every time a student updates their preferences, the simulation is re-run, and every stat is updated (for now, the process takes a few seconds, generally under 5).

Please don't hesitate to submit PR's, any help would be greatly appreciated!

To host it on your machine, all you need is a Postgres database to upload the Prisma schemas to. The hosted version is on Vercel, and it uses its Storage feature.

to-do

This is on the roadmap

• Fix CUHK IN bug (two agreements for one section. Unexpected behavior.)

  • Implies changing infrastructure: now looking up schools, not agreements.
    • How would, for instance, be the best IN assigned to either agreement?
  • Choice A: manually parse both agreements into a single agreement with a property that says "minimum students for IN is 1"
  • Choice B: (probably best) student picks a school. Every relevant agreement is picked out, and displayed in the walkthrough.

• Fix Inter ligatures outside Chrome for ->, or use icon

• Add more loading animations

  • The backend is sometimes very slow for some operations, and some feedback to the user would be very helpful

• Make what's clickable more friendly (hover effects, etc... fortunately this is a mobile first app)

• Make it usable on desktop (far future)

• Manually label & implement special cases (eg, Polytechnique de Montréal: max 3 places for GM)

• Have Google auth 100% 5xx-errorless

• Spectator mode

• Investigate possible performance improvements

• Move the hell away from Vercel edge functions & host prod on VPS
