Hi everyone! This is part of a course project my group did at Brown University attempting to create a better system with which to find Computer Science courses. Part of the project was to post the website on a forum for feedback, so we decided to use Hacker News. Let us know what you think!

Why not try implementing the pathway and hour filters on the current UI from Cabs? It sounds very smart and should be easy to add to the existing UI.

That's a good idea! We think that the current product offered by Courses@Brown is finalized however, so we're not sure they would be open to changing the software like that.

Is there a way for the users to leave comments on any of the courses? I think it'd be cool to have reviews on each course too!

That's a good suggestion. We'd have to figure out how to authenticate the users first.

This looks good. Are there any plans in the future to build this out more?

Thank you for the feedback! There are plans to expand this project and several other related ideas into a more extensive and usable tool to help Brown students plan their courses over four years.
