attendance-web

Recently renamed to 'Presence Check'

A website that will store the attendance information of my day-to-day college, and will display the percentage.

Plan

• Take the week timetable.
• Take a list of all the subjects.
• Options to select the attendance information every day.
• Show the percentage of individual subjects.
• Add classes outside the day's schedule.
• Make it work for multiple users (single user for easy development)
• Use some SQL database (because it looks like this is a lot of data to be stored for months).
• Might use AWS // VPS for database and hosting.
• Dark mode
• Ability to delete attendance entries
• Profile page
• Friends list
• Change the color of the progress bar based on the percentage of attendance

Due to the minimal time and too high of a requirement, it is highly suggested to help me fulfill this challenge/dream task.
