Tablet · Web hub · Owner console
Daftar runs the school day on a classroom tablet that never waits for the internet.
Attendance, lesson logs, fee receipts and exams are saved on the tablet and sync when the signal comes back. Every school you rent to, and every tablet in it, stays under your control.
Tick the class in. The kolam closes around it.
Each learner is a dot in the class grid. Save the register and one line is drawn around every child who came in today, then carried to the hub when the signal allows.
Every school wears its own mark. You hold all of them.
The owner console lists every registered tablet with the crest of the school it belongs to, how often it checked in this week, and how many days of offline lease it has left.
TAB-03
Sharada Vidya Mandir · VII-B classroom · v1.4.2
Commands reach a tablet at its next check-in. A tablet that stays offline acts on them when it reconnects.
The system behind it
One rule draws every crest, every class grid and every seal. One hue drives the product; each school's own colour appears only in its mark.
How a crest is drawn
The same three rules a grandmother uses at the threshold, written down so a computer can follow them.
- 1Lay a 5 × 5 grid of dots.
- 2Run one line diagonally between them, turning where the school's code places a turn.
- 3Repeat each turn four ways round the centre, so the line always comes home.
Colour
Anek Latin and Lexend
Anek is drawn by Ek Type in Mumbai, with sister scripts in Kannada, Tamil, Gujarati and Malayalam, so a school's name can sit in its own script beside its crest. Drag to see its width axis. Lexend sets the body: it was designed for reading fluency, which matters for a ten-year-old at an exam.
Motion grammar
- The line draws
- Crests and the class grid are drawn, never faded in. Dots land first, then one line travels round them.
- A bead runs home
- Syncing is a turmeric bead running the line once. No spinner anywhere.
- Offline is chalk dust
- Without signal the line breaks into grey dots; it joins up when the hub has the record.
- Locking seals the mark
- The school's crest closes over the screen and the app stops.
Kept from the generative-identity challenger: one seed per school drives its crest and its accents together, so every surface a school sees moves in step with its mark.
Honest risk: line art is easy to overuse. The kolam must stay in four places only (crest, class grid, sync and lock) or the product turns decorative. Kolam is also strongest in the south; in Gujarat the same dot grid is read as rangoli.
