Badnote

screenshot1 screenshot2

Badnote is a browser extension that enhances piazza by adding the ability to show your disapproval of others' posts. This includes the addition of a "bad note" button on notes, a "bad question" button on questions and a "no thanks" button on responses.

This is a BETA (alpha?) feel free to report issues.

Installation

Firefox

Click here and install.

Chrome

Updating

Extensions are automatically updated.

Implementation

No Piazza authentication is used. We generate a random number and put it in browser local storage, using it as a user ID. A vote is simply a row in the database with post ID and user ID (and post type - student question, student answer, instructor answer). POST/GET/DELETE for voting and checking the vote.

Please be nice to the server. Otherwise I'll just turn it off.

We're using ExpressJS as the backend with a simple sqlite database. JQuery and the usual suspects for the extension.

Running the server yourself

Requires node 9.x

To run:

cd server
npm install
node index.js

Disclaimer

This extension and the people who wrote it are in no way affiliated with Piazza.

Also it's a joke.
