Co(de)Py

A Chrome Extension that acts as a companion for learning algorithm design and coding languages. It uses a Flask backend which integrates with the extension code.

Features

• Screenshot code directly from any source (including videos) and copy the contents.

• Save any (interesting) code snippets for future use.

• Run copied code directly on the extension. (Will show build errors and output allowing it to act as a self-contained runner)

Installation (MacOS)

• Install tesseract with brew install tesseract
• Install python requirements: flask, flask-cors
• Go to chrome://extensions and choose Load unpacked and then select the extension folder in the repo.

Usage

(This will be run locally (future iteration will allow full cloud integration).)

• In the flask-server folder, enter in the command: python app.py
• Go on chrome and click the extension to start using the extension.

In-progress updates

• Integrating with repl.it's API to allow for full cloud integration.
• Updating the design of the extension
• Refactoring code for modularity
