The Feedback App was created to automate my workflow during my time as an online freelance teacher. Specifically, I wanted to automate the process of providing daily feedback to students, which was very tedious and time consuming when doing by hand.
After creating the Feedback App, I was able to save about 1-2 hours of work per day. This translated into me earning about $4 extra on my hourly rate.
Ultimately, the goal was to save time and money. For me, it achieved this goal. I hope it does the same for you.
This app currently requires Google Chrome in order to perform the webscraping. However, Chrome does not need to be running when using the Feedback App, only installed on the machine. Follow the link to download the latest version if needed.
(Chrome version used for this app was: 92.0.4515.159)
If the latest version of Chrome raises an issue when trying to run the app, this means that the chromedriver needs to be updated to the latest version. Follow the link to download the latest version of chromedriver.
