This is not an app you own, it is the system of record your school runs on. The grades, attendance marks, timetables and official report cards live on the school's tenant, entered by teachers you do not employ, under student data rules you do not control. A personal replacement would have nothing authoritative to read from: there is no public API you can point at, and scraping a minor's school portal is a bad idea on several axes at once. Even if you rebuilt the parent-facing screens perfectly, the moment a teacher posts a notice it would appear in Educamos and not in your build. The honest DIY here is a private tracker that sits beside it, not a replacement for it.

# Educamos indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Educamos workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

A local family dashboard where you manually log grades, homework and school notices per child and get a simple trend view plus a weekly summary.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- Authoritative data: teachers enter grades and attendance in Educamos, not in your app
- Two-way messaging with teachers and the school office
- Official documents: report cards, absence justifications, enrolment and billing flows
- Timetable, room and substitution updates that come from the school's own scheduling
- Everyone else on it: the school, other parents, the administration staff

If those capabilities are essential, use Educamos instead of pretending the gap is solved.

why people still pay

Nobody chooses Educamos as a consumer. The school buys it because it wires together academic records, attendance, timetabling, family communication and often billing into one tenant that the administration and the teaching staff both live in, with student data handling that a school's legal obligations require somebody to be accountable for. Parents pay in attention, not money, and use it because that is where the grades appear. Ripping it out means retraining a whole staff and migrating years of academic records, which is exactly the kind of project schools do once a decade at most.

Vibecode Educamos

Not really. Educamos's value is not the code: The moat is that the school, not you, owns the data and the staff who type it in. See the honest breakdown above.

How much does Educamos cost?

Educamos's pricing is usage-based or varies by plan · Sold to schools by Grupo SM (SM Educamos); functional modules (academic, administrative, economic) are contracted separately, so there is no list price. Only a request-information form is offered..

What do I lose by replacing Educamos?

Honestly: Authoritative data: teachers enter grades and attendance in Educamos, not in your app; Two-way messaging with teachers and the school office; Official documents: report cards, absence justifications, enrolment and billing flows; Timetable, room and substitution updates that come from the school's own scheduling; Everyone else on it: the school, other parents, the administration staff. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Educamos?

No mature open-source alternative worth pointing at, which is exactly why the one-shot prompt on this page exists.
