<h1>About</h1>
<p>
Note: At the time I developed this site, tools like UT Registration
Plus and Catalyst showed very outdated grade data, if any at all.
</p>
<p>I'm sure you've all seen this before:</p>

alt="Screenshot of registration extension"

</div>
<p>
It's the grade distribution page from UT Registration Plus, a popular
registration extension, and shows for more than half the courses
available.
</p>
<p>
During Spring 2023 registration, I noticed popular sites like Catalyst
and UT Registration Plus showed outdated on grade distributions, or no
data at all. As a result, instead of paying attention to the
pipelining lecture in 429 that day, I decided to start working on this
website. Magically, my quiz grade average decreased dramatically that
week.

<div class="about-text">
<h1>Thousands of Users!</h1>
<p>
On April 17th, 2023, the project was born! Though it was finished
midway through registration, the following registration periods saw a
lot of use from students all over campus.
