canvas-scripts

A collection of lightweight userscripts to make Canvas actually usable.

Canvas is powerful, but the UI can be a bit of a maze. This repository contains custom scripts designed to surface the data you actually care about—like upcoming assignments directly on your dashboard—without the extra clicks.

🚀 Featured Scripts

1. Dashboard: Upcoming Assignments

Shows the next 3 assignments directly on each course card. No more clicking into every individual course to see what's due tomorrow.

• Urgency Highlighting: Dates turn orange when due within 24 hours and red when overdue.
• Direct Access: Click assignment names to jump straight to the submission page.
• Native UI: Styled to match the Canvas "Instructure" design system perfectly.
