What you get

One zip, three deployment paths

The bundle is one self-contained directory. Pick the deployment that matches your needs and follow the matching setup guide.

Path 1

Browser-only (no accounts)

Open index.html in any browser or upload the whole folder to a static host (Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, Netlify, S3, the district’s own web server). No backend, no data leaves the browser.

  • Best for individual teachers, demos, single-classroom use.
  • Filtering still runs client-side from compliance.config.json.
Path 2

Google Apps Script (recommended for most districts)

Paste apps-script/Code.gs into a new Apps Script project bound to a Google Sheet, deploy as Web App, paste the deployment URL into Teacher Admin. Storage stays inside the district’s Google Workspace tenant.

  • Best for K–12 districts already on Google Workspace.
  • Full Compliance Console + Family Access Tools + District Privacy Packet.
  • Follow Apps Script Setup Guide.
Path 3

Self-hosted MySQL (Phase 4)

For districts that need a local database, real-time session enforcement, SSO/SIS sync (Clever scaffold included), and a parent portal. One docker compose up brings up MySQL + Node API.

  • Requires Docker (or Node 20+ & MySQL 8+).
  • OAuth (Google + Microsoft), RBAC tree (district/campus/teacher/student/parent).
  • Server-side safety filter, board freeze, age-band lock, time-limit enforcement (SSE push), retention cron, privacy packet generator.
  • Follow MySQL Setup Guide.
