An Alexa skill to tell you your assignment deadlines, just say "open assignment deadlines".
There is also a web application that can display the deadlines and configure the Alexa skill. For example, you can
- Add a nickname for your obscure course names: e.g. "Relational Databases" for "CPSC 304 101/102".
- Limit the timeline of due dates to annouce: e.g. "within 3 days" or "within 20 days".
Won 2nd place for the UBC Canvas API 2018 hackathon, here are the presentation slides.
