Hogwarts

PreviousNext

Open-source, multi-tenant K-12 school platform — built in the open, contributed to in public.

Hogwarts is an open-source, multi-tenant K-12 school platform. Every classroom in a school — admission, attendance, exams, fees, messaging, transport, library, LMS — fits inside one codebase, behind one subdomain per school, with one shared catalog underneath.

This page is the entry point. If you're new, start here.

What it is

Three ideas:

  1. One subdomain per school. Each tenant gets school.databayt.org (or a custom CNAME). Data is isolated by schoolId end-to-end.
  2. One shared catalog underneath. Curricula, subjects, chapters, lessons are global content. Schools subscribe and apply overrides — they don't duplicate.
  3. Arabic-first, RTL by default. The default locale is Arabic; English is parity. The codebase uses logical CSS so RTL works without overrides.

Where to go next

For developers

  • Get started — clone, install, run locally
  • Architecture — mirror pattern, file conventions, multi-tenant safety
  • Pattern — code conventions per feature
  • Stack — full technology choices

For product

  • PRD — requirements, role model, NFRs, constraints
  • MVP — 14-epic shipped state with maturity badges
  • Roadmap — what's next and the long-horizon vision

For commercial

  • GTM — three-phase go-to-market
  • Pilot — MENA-10 free pilot cohort (current open offer)
  • Marketing — positioning, channels, content calendar
  • Sales — commercial process and prospect playbook
  • Leads — pipeline operations and discovery script
  • Proposal — Free Pilot + Paid Conversion templates
  • Case study — King Fahad first draft + framework
  • Business model — pricing tiers and revenue
  • Pitch — partner-facing narrative
  • Incubators — accelerator-specific positioning
  • Competitors — landscape and positioning

For community

  • Contributing — how to send a PR
  • Code of conduct — community standards
  • Shared economy — how contributions earn recognition and revenue
  • Issues — work queue

Why open source

Student data is sensitive and curriculum changes constantly — schools deserve auditable, extensible code, and contributors deserve transparent attribution. SSPL-1.0 keeps the code free for self-hosters and protects against parasitic SaaS resale. Pattern: fork, fix, contribute back.
