Blank Canvas

About

Blank Canvas

Blank Canvas is a Chrome extension that reduces clutter inside Canvas with a minimalist, student-friendly dashboard and a UI overhaul.

Features

- Custom dashboard
At the core of the extension, the dashboard has been revamped with an assignments tracker and quick links to classes. The assignments tracker scrapes Canvas assignments from all your classes and lists them neatly by due date. Additionally, the display allows you to mark assignments as done.

- Custom assignment creation
Have an assignment your teacher verbally mentioned in class but never posted a Canvas assignment for? Create your own assignment to keep yourself on track.

- Right-click to hide
Right click on any unwanted sidebar items or old assignments to hide them from view. Any hidden items can be restored through the settings menu. 

- UI Overhaul
UI changes that clean up the page look and hide many low-use buttons in default Canvas from view. Hidden buttons can be restored through the settings menu.

Installing
Search for "Blank Canvas" on the Chrome web store.

FAQ
- Where do I find the settings menu?
  - Click the puzzle piece icon to the right of the URL on your Chrome page. Click on the the Blank Canvas extension, then click Settings in the top right corner.
- Can Blank Canvas help to hide my old classes from view?
  - Canvas actually has a built-in feature to do so! Go to Courses -> All Courses, and star only the classes you want in your dashboard view. The unstarred classes will disappear from view.
