// why: Existing proctoring was too heavy for a college hackathon.
$ cat projects/hackathon-integrity-monitor.md▌
TL;DR
- Lightweight proctoring: shortcuts, tabs, copy events
- Instant feedback: sound alerts + violation counter
- Zero backend: runs fully in-browser at scale
// what does it do?
Browser extension for online hackathons: watches shortcuts, tab-switches, copy events, timers — sound alerts + violation counter. No backend.
// why this project?
Our university hackathons needed lightweight monitoring for online events, and the existing proctoring tools were heavyweight and awkward to deploy.
// what broke / learned
First extension I shipped — deployed at a real SOA/ITER event.
// results
- Deployed for SOA/ITER university hackathon events. Tracks shortcut violations, tab-switches, and copy events in real time with sound alerts. No backend at all
- it runs entirely in the browser, on every participant's machine at once.
