Verallel: A Web Extension to Enhance Veracross Navigation and User Experience
Verallel is a web extension developed by Webb CS that aims to improve the navigation and user experience of Veracross, particularly for users of Webb School. While this version is specifically designed for Webb School's Veracross, it offers several quality of life features that enhance the website's functionality.
One of the standout features of Verallel is the light/dark mode toggle for both Veracross and the Verallel Options Page, providing users with a more customizable visual experience. Additionally, the extension allows users to fetch assignments, missing assignments, and lesson plans directly from the popup, eliminating the need for multiple tabs or windows.
Verallel also streamlines the user interface by removing unnecessary elements, such as class IDs, to enhance the overall aesthetics of the website. Dropdown menus on the portal page are optimized to occupy less space, ensuring a more efficient and visually pleasing browsing experience. The extension even includes a class dropdown feature, allowing users to easily select their classes.
Furthermore, Verallel introduces the Verallel Assignment Manager (VAM), which serves as the options page for the extension. This feature conveniently keeps track of upcoming assignments, providing users with a centralized hub for managing their workload.
To further improve usability, Verallel automates certain scrolling and clicking actions that would typically require manual intervention on specific pages. This automation feature saves users time and effort, allowing them to navigate to desired sections of a page effortlessly.
In conclusion, Verallel is a web extension that enhances the user-friendliness of Veracross, particularly for Webb School users. With its streamlined navigation, improved visual customization, and convenient assignment management, Verallel offers a more efficient and enjoyable browsing experience for users of Webb School's Veracross.
