Hello,
I am building another app, a free exam-taking app. This will be free for all. Anyone can install it to Heroku and vercel for free. The SASS version will have a free plan but will have more feature and options. I will be opensource this app soon no date is yet fixed. Please if you wanted to test here is the URL.

Vercel App For OpenExam

Nice idea... but there are a lot of services that provide this idea. What are the main point of your application? What pro do I get using your application compared to others?
Paid or free it doesn't matter if the platform is not strong enoght to prevent cheating.

What type of protection did you implement? A normal web-app can't block the whole browser and prevent the "google answer" cheat, you commonly need a custom application... based on a web browser but stripped of the non-essentials funcionalities.

There is no protection for this app. It's true a lot of providing exam app for free, but you have to register all your students to their platform to take the exam. But with this app, you can create your own personal website, and for free.
All your data is your property. And it's just an MVP version. I will add all the protection features later.

Not bad. Look forward to seeing you really open-sourcing this app though.

By the way, what other more features or options you will be adding for the free/paid version?

[debjit]

This will be my first SAS product. Exams will be completely free for any students and open to all exams. You will only pay for the customize exams or private exams.

Very good effort at the application, it looks quite sleek too. I agree with LightDestory that there are a lot of competitors on the market, but if you can improvise and make this application "googling resistant" and/or otherwise cheating resistant I'm sure it'll attract a lot of users. I'll be looking forward to checking out the code once it's open-sourced, till then good luck with your project. 

Note that if the code is open-sourced anyone will have access to self-host a copy. They may not make it public and keep using the premium features for free so the license cannot play a big role there, how are you planning to counter that?

This is an awesome project. From the UI, I believe it's a Laravel project, right?

I am currently looking for an exam app that I can use as guidance for my current project. This will be perfect if I can see the code inside it.

Thank @debjit!

Yes sure. I have some backlog from my previous Blood Donation projects and writing tests for it. After creating the tests I will publish it again and make a SAAS of it as I found many just don't use my app just because you have to make some installation and use a Paper diary instead.
So this exam app will take some time to be in a production state.
I will definitely update it and opensource it with a SAAS alternative.
and @sohamb03 yes that is exactly the Idea. People who like to control the app and exam can do that if they successfully follow the tutorial. And it's ok to share an open-source as there is already a lot of alternatives. And there is no security measure added to the opensource exam app.

Sounds good ... open-source and free of cost will be a great idea for educational institutions. If you can build a collaboration environment later on, people might start seeing your application as an alternative to MS Teams. Good luck!

Then I suggest making this as a survey rather then exam.As other members figured out - no protection.But once your started implenting the protection it's not longer broswer-side completable.You need process filtering,screenshoting,phone that used as 2nd camera and supervisioning utility(like OMS - https://oms.pintia.cn/ ),so that's a lot of effort needed.

But a survey system is better.If you want to use ot for education,just add some real-time updating in browser and mobile-friendly polls.I believe it's a easy job for you using something like websockets,or at the worst,periodly ajax refreshing.
