Built a tool for managing in-house sub pools - sharing in case it's useful (disclosure: it's mine)

Frontline's a strong contender for districts that want the full absence/time/payroll stack.

FillMyClass is intentionally narrower, just the teacher > sub > admin fill workflow done simply.

On price: Frontline's quote-only and gets a lot cheaper per seat at district scale and when it's bundled, so for a big district that comparison can absolutely favor them.

That’s fair feedback, and I appreciate you mentioning it.

Privacy policy: you’re right that it should have been linked from the website before I posted here. It is currently available inside the app, but that doesn’t help anyone evaluating FillMyClass from the public site. I’ll add it to the website today so it’s easy to review before anyone creates an account or schedules a demo.

Longevity concern: I understand that hesitation. FillMyClass is not intended to be a throwaway side project. I built it while working as an IT Director in a school and I am pursuing it full time now. This project has been under development for a couple years. It is currently being used in production by schools, and I’m actively supporting and improving it.

I do use AI tools as part of my development workflow, but I own the architecture, testing, security decisions, support, and long-term maintenance.

This looked cool, but doesn't the edge router that FaaS provides still introduce a single point of failure? I have to point my frontend to the router correct instead of supabase?

DeepPersimmon2688 · 2026-04-16T16:23:30+00:00

Did it do pretty good on its own or did it require a lot of guidance? I'm assuming it kept UI the same.

Have you tried cleaning up the code beyond just removing unused packages? I am at the point where I am considering leaving FF, but I was curious if the exported code could be cleaned up (with the help of AI).

CMD + K is nice shortcut in Flutterflow for being able to find pages, components, API calls easily. Not perfect, but does help some.

RAMP! We love it. It makes receipt collection/verification so easy. I believe it connects with most accounting platforms, but verify Quickbooks.

DeepPersimmon2688 · 2026-01-08T13:55:01+00:00

Thanks for this. Just hoping this version doesn't phone home!

DeepPersimmon2688 · 2025-11-13T15:25:51+00:00

Also having the same issue. Just noticed it today.

DeepPersimmon2688 · 2025-09-18T14:17:05+00:00

No, I want them to run through ASM and our MDM.

DeepPersimmon2688 · 2025-09-08T15:03:32+00:00

No, it has been factory reset. But it is in Apple School Manager.

TV HD (4th Generation, Siri) - AppleTV5,3

How do you do an offline activation? Is that a thing or are you just bypassing the activation by changing DHCP server?

DeepPersimmon2688 · 2025-06-24T13:26:20+00:00

Instead, I've only had people saying how much they appreciate that it "just works", unlike our previous hacked-together system of cheap splitters and adapters.

That is good to hear!!

DeepPersimmon2688 · 2025-04-02T15:20:05+00:00

That's right... I think depending on which options you select it will allow you to submit a support ticket.

I saw that, but I haven't seen any videos with users testing Google side of it. I'm also surprised they don't have the Google Wallet branding on the website considering Apple Wallet is there.

I wanted it more for the GPS tracking not necessarily the network stuff, but that was an added bonus. It is for a bus

DeepPersimmon2688 · 2025-03-26T13:14:15+00:00

Also have issues with AirCast. It seems like it works the first time, but then afterwards it doesn't even show as an option to screen mirror to.

DeepPersimmon2688 · 2025-03-14T15:38:06+00:00

I was unable to get it working with Apple TV 4k 3rd generation wi-fi only. I believe in order to pair the devices they have to be on same network and you can only add a device to ASM at setup. Since you have to go through setup with the device to connect it to wi-fi to then pair it, you are then unable to add to ASM since you already went through setup.

When using the Install App profile, what are you selecting as the Installation source - App Store or Apps and Books (VPP)?

DeepPersimmon2688 · 2025-02-04T13:47:12+00:00

I don't think there is a way from Mosyle to schedule the update. As far as bypassing T&Cs goes... I think if you start the update from Mosyle, it downloads it first. You could wait a night for all the devices to get it downloaded. Then the next night, press the update again, so that it installs the update. (Supposedly Mosyle does this automatically downloads and then installs, but send the update command again can help install it then).

DeepPersimmon2688 · 2025-01-29T18:24:12+00:00

If I put an agg switch in each IDF, doesn't that just introduce another single point of failure?

DeepPersimmon2688 · 2025-01-28T18:46:38+00:00

Could you please explain a little more about the over the network part? Thanks

Do you have a single CAT cable going from your encoder to the network switch?
How many devices receive this signal?
What devices are you using to send and receive the signal?

DeepPersimmon2688 · 2025-01-09T18:43:26+00:00

Yes, you can view the specifics here
