- Clean, minimalist UI: Enjoy a fresh, modal-less UI layout, completely redesigned to improve information density and clarity.
- Rich Profiles: Take your schedules with you and manipulate them as you desire - quick downloads in the standardized JSON format allow for easy offline editing and extensibility.

- Scratchpad: Easily move courses between multiple profiles with the shared course scratchpad, featuring smooth drag and drop.
Degree Explorer++ supports nearly 5000 undergraduate courses and 400 programs from UofT's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, St. George campus. Currently, I (@vedangnaik) do not plan to expand this scope. However, if someone wishes to do this, please don't hesitate to contact me! Possible directions to take would include adding support for graduate courses, courses at Missisauga and Scarborough, courses in other faculties, etc.
