Canvas has no way to search across all of it at once, butTaskGator does! • All Your Courses in One View: Consolidates assignments across every enrolled course with smart sorting by due date, priority, or course. • AI Course Assistant with Citations: Ask specific questions about your courses (e.g., "What is the late policy for Physics?" or "What formatting does Prof. Miller require?") and get instant, accurate answers with direct source citations. • Automatic Background Monitoring: Stays in sync as professors post new announcements, modify assignment deadlines, or update rubrics. • Task Customization: Mark assignments complete, set custom due dates, and flag items needing follow-up. • Low-Friction Workflow: Works side-by-side with your active Canvas tabs. No external apps or manual exports required. -------------------------------------------------- WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.0 -------------------------------------------------- TaskGator is officially out of pilot! This major milestone brings extensive polish and performance improvements: • Smoother First Sync: Live progress tracking through file processing, individual course cards, and plain-English troubleshooting with smart retry handling. • Sign-In & Auth Enhancements: Clear guidance for mistyped passwords, duplicate submission prevention, and streamlined email-confirmation / password-reset screens. • Clean Course Names: Normalized course titles across the board (e.g., MATH 1010 stays "MATH 1010"), with merged multi-section courses cleanly unified. • Accessibility Upgrades: Screen reader deduplication (each assignment announces once), higher-contrast labels, and vocalized loading states. • Honest Status Alerts: Immediate offline detection and notifications when your connection drops. • One-Time Step: You will be prompted once after updating to accept our updated Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. -------------------------------------------------- PRIVACY & DATA INTEGRITY FIRST -------------------------------------------------- • Built with student data privacy and security as foundational requirements. - The extension does not collect credentials input by the user. • Data is encrypted and is never sold to third parties or shared with advertisers. • AI features leverage secure OpenAI models strictly to summarize and answer questions about your synced course materials. • Complete data wiping upon sign-out makes TaskGator safe for shared library and campus lab computers. -------------------------------------------------- GETTING STARTED -------------------------------------------------- 1.
