CourseMonkey: your campus, one swipe at a time. Every card is a question. Swipe to answer, then flip it to see how everyone else swiped. Some cards are about courses and profs. Some are about whether you should bring your funky dog to campus. All of them are made by students like you. SWIPE, DON'T SCROLL Two decks: Following, for cards from people and courses you care about, and Explore, for what your campus is talking about right now. Every card takes two seconds to answer - and then come the results. FLIP FOR THE RESULTS Once you swipe, tap to flip the card: see the split, the vote count, and who made it. It's a poll, a meme, and a conversation in one. MAKE YOUR OWN CARDS Got a hot take, a GIF that sums up midterm season, or a genuine question? Make a card in seconds, pick who sees it: your whole campus, your friends, or people who took the same course, and watch the votes roll in. REAL GRADE DISTRIBUTIONS Before you register, see how a course actually grades: averages, medians, and the full grade breakdown, alongside what students said about it. YOUR CIRCLES Bring your people into circles and see how the people you actually trust swiped. BUILD YOUR COLLECTION Unlock name colors, styles, and badges as you contribute. Mix and match to make it yours. Courses, campus, and groupchat vibes - all in one deck. Come swipe.
