Hey HN, Made a new student planner for the iPhone Complete enrollment management with terms, courses, homework, and gradings. Support for repetitive and MWF classes, including attendance tracking. The calendar shows you all the study data, not only your classes. Switch easily between month and week mode. Your calendar can also be shared with Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar or any other 3rd party app which supports the .ics format. Create homework and gradings with full support for repeating occurrences. Use filters to easily see what's important right now. Customize the grading scale to your needs and have all your marks and course averages at hand, including GPA.

  Does this integrates with Banner? That would be a killer feature if it did (like Coursicle), that's what most schools use for their registration (despite it having a very poor UI/UX IMO).

    Banner (and Ellucian) is my trigger word.

      Having integrations with ERP systems in the education space would be a great way to save students the trouble to enter all the enrollment data like classes, etc. The issue is that there are simply too many different systems across the globe, lot of them without anything resembling an API. Ellucian Banner looks interesting, will check it out further, thanks

        Absolutely, and I think that's what would give a good opportunity for monetization in this space. Someone whose willing to deal with the lack of APIs, differing versions, incorrect SSL configs, etc. and put it into a user-friendly app will be able to get value directly from the end users--students and profs--and disrupt the lack of innovation from Ellucian et al.

  Does it sync data between devices via iCloud? I like the idea but don’t want to enroll my kids in a third-party service of any kind.

Is it different from iStudiez in any way? https://istudentpro.com/ios.php https://istudentpro.com/ios.php

  That's a really great app which has been around for a long time. I tried to make some things a little different. For example emphasising on the three different types of data (class, homework, grading) with each having it's own view, but still showing all of them in the calendar to have a summary of what's going on. Sharing your calendar with Google Calendar, Outlook or similar also allows you to select which type of data you wanna share. Or being able to set a repeat of any item, not just a class. So you can create for example a repeating quiz grading over several weeks. There are more, smaller differences like you can enter extra-curricular events that to not belong to any course. Or have an attendance tracking where you can skip single classes and see an overview of skipped ones..

Why even bother hosting a landing page yourself? Use Github Pages, or S3.

  Actually the site is hosted on Github pages, that's why I was surprised to hear it was down some hours ago

Hm I am not able to view the website but, there seems to be a ton of student planners available nowadays - https://istudentpro.com/ios.php https://istudentpro.com/ios.php - https://semesterplanner.com https://semesterplanner.com - https://myhomeworkapp.com/ https://myhomeworkapp.com/ Just to name a few. Nonetheless good job on the app and even though the space is crowed this is a very clean designed app.
