## A student-first learning platform, built for areas with weak internet and real challenges.

## ✨ Vision

During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, I (the founder) was still young and found platforms like Microsoft Teams hard to use and slow. In 2023, a war broke out in Gaza and disconnected us from school for more than a year.

That’s when I asked:

> **“Why aren’t we building something made for students?”**

So I decided to build one — with you.

## 🚀 Features (Planned)

- ✅ Real-time messaging (Students ↔ Teachers)
- ✅ Assignment & exam creation and submission
- 🔒 Smart anti-cheating system
- 📅 Lecture scheduling & calendar integration
- 🎥 Google Meet integration
- 🧠 Clean, age-friendly UI
- ⚡ Extremely lightweight – works with poor connectivity

## 🐋 Quick Start with Docker

The easiest way to get started is using Docker. We provide a complete development environment with all services pre-configured.

### Prerequisites
- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
- [Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/) (usually pre-installed on Linux/Mac)

### Getting Started

1. **Clone the repository**
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/ibrahim-sisar/EduLite.git
   cd EduLite
   ```

2. **Quick start** (first time setup)
   ```bash
   make quickstart
   ```
   This will:
   - Create the `.env` file with auto-generated secrets (recommend to change these)
   - Build all Docker images
   - Start all services (backend, frontend, PostgreSQL, Redis)
   - Run database migrations
   - Collect static files

3. **Access the application**
   - Frontend: http://localhost:5173
   - Backend API: http://localhost:8000
   - Health Check: http://localhost:8000/api/health/

### Useful Commands

```bash
# Start all services
make up

# Stop all services
make down

# View logs
make logs

# Backend shell (Django)
make shell

# Run migrations
make migrate

# Create superuser
make createsuperuser

# Run backend tests
make test

# Rebuild containers
make build

# Clean everything (including volumes)
make clean
```

For detailed Docker documentation, see [docker/README.md](docker/README.md).
