01 — Exam revision platform
LivePaperMunch
Every past paper, munched.
The idea
Revising for IGCSE and A Level exams usually means hunting for past papers across slow, ad-stuffed sites, printing them, then hunting again for the mark scheme. PaperMunch puts every paper in one fast place — free, with no sign-up and no pop-ups — and then goes a step further: it tells students what to revise first.
What I built
- A library of 35,000+ papers. Cambridge and Edexcel, IGCSE and A Level, question papers and mark schemes back to 2001 — searchable by subject, by topic, or by the code printed on the paper.
- The desk. Papers open right in the browser, ready to write on with a stylus: palm rejection, a mark scheme that stays face down until you’re ready, and a timer that stops itself when you finish. Notes are saved on the student’s own device.
- Crash plans and forecasts. Each one comes from tallying the topics in 18–20 past papers, so students revise what actually keeps coming up — in two days, if that’s all they’ve got.
- Everything around it. 4,000+ quick questions with explained answers, exam countdowns, notes and flashcards, and a community Discord — all fronted by Otto, the octopus who keeps it friendly.
What’s underneath
A static-first site built with Astro and served from Cloudflare’s network, so pages stay quick on a phone over school Wi-Fi. Structured data helps search engines understand every subject and paper — because students find revision material through search, at the exact moment they need it.
