LearnSkart: Academic Resource Hub

A lightweight, mobile-responsive static website for engineering students to access study notes, previous-year question papers, syllabus PDFs, and GATE resources.

Overview

LearnSkart organizes academic content by:

• Department (CSE, ECE, EEE, IT, MECH, CIVIL)
• Regulation
• Semester
• Subject

The site is built as a pure static project (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) and is designed for GitHub Pages hosting.

Key Features

• Department-wise academic navigation
• Regulation + semester based filtering
• Subject-wise resource discovery
• Previous-year question paper pages under pyq/
• GATE stream pages under gate/
• GATE previous-year question paper pages under gate-pyqs/
• GATE syllabus pages under gate-syllabus/
• Anna University results hub page under anna-university-results/
• Daily Puzzle page under daily-puzzle/
• Regulation-based syllabus pages under syllabus/2021/ and syllabus/2025/
• CGPA calculator
• Dark mode support
• Mobile-first responsive UI

Tech Stack

• HTML5
• CSS3
• Vanilla JavaScript
• JSON-driven content (assets/data/*.json)
• Google Drive hosted PDFs
• GitHub Pages deployment

Data Sources

• assets/data/data.json → Notes/resources for academics pages
• assets/data/qn.json → Previous-year question paper metadata and links
• assets/data/sydata.json → Syllabus data
• assets/data/gate-qns.json → GATE question content
• assets/data/*-templates.json → Page generation templates

Build/Generation Scripts

In scripts/:

• build-academics-pages.js
• build-pyq-pages.js
• build-syllabus-pages.js
• build-gate-pages.js
• generate-academics-templates.js
• generate-pyq-templates.js
• generate-pyq-index.js
• update-academics-index-links.js
• fix-pyq-theme.js

These scripts help generate and maintain static pages from JSON/template data.

Local Development

1. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/anand06-sk/Project-LearnSkart.git
   cd Project-OpenNotes

2. Run a local static server (recommended):

   python -m http.server 8000

3. Open:

   http://localhost:8000
   

Content Update Workflow

1. Upload PDF to Google Drive and enable public view access.
2. Add/update entries in relevant JSON file under assets/data/.
3. If needed, run generation scripts in scripts/.
4. Verify pages locally.
5. Push changes to deploy on GitHub Pages.

Notes on Routing

• PYQ pages use folder-based routes under pyq/.
• The sitemap should mirror the exact pyq/ folder names used in the repository.
• Syllabus department landing pages are regulation-based under syllabus/2021/ and syllabus/2025/.
• Subject syllabus pages continue under department routes like syllabus/cse/... and syllabus/ece/....
• GATE PYQ pages are available under gate-pyqs/.
• Current PYQ route examples include pyq/CE3351-surveying-and-levelling/, pyq/CE3701-estimation-coasting-and-valuation-engineering/, pyq/CS3501-compiler-design/, pyq/IT3501-full-stack-web-development/, and pyq/PH3201-physics-for-civil-engineering/.
• Informational routes include about/, privacy/, disclaimer/, terms-and-conditions/, and contact/.
• Keep subject slugs in links consistent with real folder names.
• For GitHub Pages project-site hosting, prefer relative internal links (for example ../pyq/.../ or ../../gate/.../) instead of root-absolute links like /pyq/.../.
