Starrboard
A modular command center for school deadlines, reading plans, and tasks, with a public fictional demo.
The problem
School deadlines, reading plans, and tasks live across separate systems, making it harder to see what needs attention today.
My role
I developed the private command center and published a separate fictional demo to show the interface without exposing personal records or account access.
A product decision
Keep imported facts separate from personal planning, make source freshness visible, and provide a daily overview alongside focused workspaces. The public demo uses fictional browser-local data so reviewers can explore without credentials.
What was checked
On October 27, 2026, a browser check loaded the demo without credentials, opened Today from the overview, and opened the task-capture dialog. This check did not validate every interaction or any live integration. The linked case study documents the architecture and a fuller demonstration plan.
What the evidence shows
Published a credential-free fictional demo with working local interactions. Adoption and productivity gains have not been measured.
Limits
The demo has no live integrations. Refresh, planning approval, and automation dialogs are simulations. Record changes reset on reload. The planner is rule-based, not generative AI; external assistant integration is not implemented. No broad adoption or productivity improvement has been measured.
Next validation step
Run a small task test: ask students to identify a deadline, capture a task, and find it in Today. Record completion, time, and errors, then change one part of the flow and repeat.
