Meet the people behind Mark.
Mark is a product of BashTime. It was founded and is built by Kenny Allman, with advice, feedback, and pilot support from people who care about teaching, software, security, and fair records.
Why BashTime?
BashTime stands for Browser-based Assignment and Session History.
The name is also a nod to Bash, a command-line environment that can keep a timestamped history of commands. The idea is simple: record meaningful events, preserve their sequence, and keep the resulting evidence and authored outcomes understandable.
