TeachMate
PrototypeA digital teaching companion for teacher candidates — lesson planning, spaced-repetition flashcards, classroom utilities, and private notes in one place.
Last updated Feb 15, 2026
Early prototype
This project is a working prototype — the core concept is proven but it is not yet production-ready.
The problem
New teachers assemble their toolkit from whatever is free: one site for lesson templates, another for flashcards, a phone timer, and a notes app that isn't private enough for anything written about a student.
What’s being built
Four tools under one login: a lesson planner with PDF export, smart flashcards on a spaced-repetition schedule, a teacher toolkit with utilities like a name picker and timer, and secure private notes. React 18 and TypeScript on Vite, Tailwind with shadcn/ui, TanStack Query for server state, over an Express API.
Latest update
The scope is deliberately small — four things a teacher candidate actually does every week, rather than a platform.
Current milestone
All four tools working; the lesson planner exports to PDF
