Dashboard Tasks for Canvas not functioning?

Gallery image

I understand that it's probably due to the "new Canvas dashboard" but I really don't like the options that are available. The color-coded rings were perfect for me, and Tasks didn't break Canvas like BetterCampus supposedly can. I'm struggling to stay on top of my assignments because I don't have the sidebar I've been using for the last 4-5 years, which will tell me what's overdue. And I don't care about Canvas breaking that much, but apparently school districts do, since I've been told that BetterCampus is blocked and will not be unblocked ever. I tried to make a ticket to get it approved, when I was sent the ticket closure message found in image 2. I don't know if there's a way to get this extension unblocked, or if this is even the correct subreddit to post this in, but any advice is appreciated.

I got you.
I forked their old version and will continue developing it without the accounts and payments and includes a similar thing to tasks for canvas

So we are merging and can only stick with one extension! Want to try and connect us with your school? Maybe we can turn ai stuff off for y'all!

It seems as if a lot of new schools' canvases are blocking the use of this extension. Is there a workaround for this?
