BubbleCheck's New Tech Stack
Last post, I talked about my legacy app's old, outdated tech stack. Now, let's look at the new stack I hope to use as I rewrite BubbleCheck.

In 2013 I built BubbleCheck, an automated grading tool that lets teachers design multiple choice exams, scan in their students' completed exams, and review the results.
Now, over a decade later, 308 teachers have used BubbleCheck to automatically grade a whopping of 48,000 exams. Assuming each exam would have taken, say, 5 minutes to grade by hand, it's saved teachers a collective 4000 hours of grading.
At this point, I an confidently say that the project was worth it. Relevant XKCD.
But, technology changes and BubbleCheck is built on a tech stack that is considered "ancient" at this point.
So, it's time to rebuild BubbleCheck with modern tools.
