Hi Im Joel, the maker of School Scoop. I originally built it to help parents at my kids school, and I had 1/4 of the school sign up. Got lots of feedback and I thought other school parents could use it too. Added some much asked for features and now have approx 150 users. What does it do? School Scoop reads a school’s public newsletter and turns it into something parents can actually use, a snapshot, key dates, and general school updates. Premium adds Need to Know (what do I need to know about quickly for my family), Year-level News, and Smart Calendar, email reminders, which pulls school dates into your calendar. It's a simple sign up and no fancy dashboards - and NO email forwarding like 20 other similiar apps do. The product changed a lot while building it. The tough bit was the summarization engine, i'e tweaked this over the last 8 months against 1000s of newsltters. And then the next challenge was getting all the data. So I have approx 5000 schools active on it (ready with public newsltter links). I’d love feedback from parents, school staff, and anyone building in education.
