sensei-grading-bookmarklet

A bookmarklet to enhance the grading of code ninja assignments.

Usage

  1. Visit the grading console while logged in as a code sensei.
  2. Paste the bookmarklet code in the address bar.
  3. Make sure it is prefixed with javascript:.
  4. Click enter to execute the bookmarklet code.
  5. Grade.

Development

This bookmarklet is compiled using NodeJS. Upon cloning this project, execute npm i to install of the necessary dependencies.

To run in development mode, run npm run dev. To generate the bookmarklet, run npm start.

Purpose

Grading code ninjas' submissions are slow and tedious because the current site has very poor UX. My goal is to make an entirely keyboard-navigable enhancement in the form of a bookmarklet.

Security

For security reasons, modern browsers will make you type out the prefix (javascript:) manually. They use this as a method of opting into the potentially dangerous act of executing foreign JavaScript on a webpage. This code, however, is non-malicious, so no worries in this case.
