Add auth about course-evals HOT 2 OPEN

Do you know anyway to implement authentication without rewriting the entire app? Currently there isn't any backend at all. I'm guessing a backend is required to keep the data hidden as well.

So, you could session the user with a cookie and use something like OAuth to process the logins. I'm not sure how the integration with University emails would work yet, that's something we'd have to look into.

In the case of hiding the data, yeah a backend would probably be the best bet. However, you're in a tough spot here, considering you've already committed the data to this repo. Even if you git rm the file, such that it is no longer served with the app, you still run into the problem of people being able to access it through your git history. That is something that you're just going to have to live with, I think.
