Description

MyUIC Neo is a student-made implementation of MyUIC: the student portal web application of the University of the Immaculate Conception. The focus of MyUIC Neo is to provide better user experience and better user interface for UIC students by using modern web standards and design techniques.

It is both a single-page application (SPA) and a progressive web application (PWA) for smooth native-app like experience on any device whether be on the phone, on the tablet, or on the desktop.

Why?

Information through online platforms became the norm after the start of the online class mandate. Thus, any data related to financial payments, student grades were heavily relied on the MyUIC student portal. As a student myself of the school along with others, the experience was not good and the information it provides does not utilize it very well to the point that to get the right information, you must go to a series of links which should be exposed directly in the first place.

With this, it hopefully solves the dissatisfaction and other problems experienced by the students.

Native Application

MyUIC Neo can also be used as a mobile application both for iOS and Android with the help of CapacitorJS. Unlike the web-only version, the mobile app provides features such as offline notifications, fingerprint authentication, persistent session, and etc.

To get started, please refer to the "Run as Android app" and "Run as iOS App" sections.
