Rotimi, a software engineer from Nigeria, created Classroom.io during his free time.
He used SvelteKit and Superbase to build the MVP of the application in 2-3 months.
The initial version of the app allowed users to post lesson notes, give assignments, and grade assignments.
The creator open-sourced the project after being accepted into a program called Codes Pioneers, which provides mentorship and training for open-source projects.
The tech stack includes SvelteKit, Tailwind CSS, and Superbase for the backend API layer, authentication, storage, and real-time features.
Spelt is a library that allows for easy integration of AI into React applications.
The project is currently hosted on Vercel and uses DNS to route subdomains to the application.
The project is set up for easy local development using Docker and Gitpod.
