A web application that makes customized suggestions to improve the legibility of code. Currently supports Python and will suggest formatting tips such as proper code indentation and blocking.
CodeStyle aims to help people overcome a fundamental barrier to learning programming: good coding style.
Built with the latest version of React as a frontend and utilizes Flask as a backend.
While most existing code formatters transform the user’s code without providing explanations behind the changes, this tool helps the user improve their coding style by supplying them with the reasoning behind any formatting suggestions.
To build the latest working version on your local machine, cd to the project directory.

cdinto theserverdirectory and then runpython server.pyto start the web server
Once done, navigate to localhost:5000 in your favorite browser to open the application.
We hope to extend CodeStyle to support other languages.
