PaperSorted

Snapshot

PaperSorted is a public archive for Kathmandu University exam papers. It turns a large folder of PDFs into something students can actually browse: by subject code, by program, by semester, or directly inside a lightweight viewer.

How it works

At build time, the project scans the paper directory, generates a manifest, and produces static routes for subject pages and individual paper viewers.

Search works in two layers:

• fast subject lookup built around code, prefix, and alias matching
• deeper PDF-text indexing for paper-level search through the command palette

The whole system stays static, which keeps deployment simple on GitHub Pages while still handling a few thousand documents.

Why it belongs here

I would not put this in the featured set, but it earns a place in the archive because it solves a real retrieval problem cleanly. The useful part is not just the interface. It is that a messy paper collection becomes searchable, filterable, and readable without needing a backend or database.
