A school dashboard app — timetable, notices, and class info in one place. Started at Gifted Education Center.

SwiftPythonNext.js

What it was

Sirius (학교 정보를 한눈에 — “school info at a glance”) was a school life app I built at Gifted Education Center. The idea: one place for timetable, announcements, and whatever else you need between classes, instead of juggling three different apps and a KakaoTalk thread.

The original target was a native Swift app with a Python backend for scraping/processing school data. What’s on GitHub is the web prototype: sirius-web, a Next.js + Tailwind dashboard.

The web prototype

I built it on StackBlitz and exported it to GitHub. The homepage is about as simple as a grid layout gets:

  • Header: Sirius + tagline
  • Profile card (avatar, name, school — hardcoded to 이대부속초등학교 in the demo)
  • 3×3 grid of numbered tiles (0109) — placeholders for timetable, lunch, homework, etc.

Settings and logout links are… rickrolls. (youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ.) I was 13.

Stack: Next.js pages router, Tailwind CSS, no backend wired up in the public repo. It was more UI mockup than functional product at this stage.

Earlier versions

Before the Next.js prototype, I also built presentation materials for a fuller school-info app concept — timetable views, lunch menus, notice boards. Screenshots from that iteration:

What happened next

Sirius didn’t ship as a standalone app, but the idea clearly stuck — years later I rebuilt the same concept as TimeforSchool (notice board + timetable + lunch API + MCP) and SchoolWatch (watchOS client). Same problem, better stack, actually deployed.

The Sirius name, grid-dashboard concept, and “school info at a glance” pitch are basically the ancestor of everything school-related on this site.
