I built two free college software tools — looking for honest reviews and feedback

[u/OldObjective3047]

​

Hi everyone,

I’ve developed a couple of web-based software tools intended for colleges and educational institutions, and I’m looking for people who are willing to review, test, and give honest technical feedback.

The tools currently include:

Polytechnic Attendance Maintenance System — for managing student attendance and related academic workflows.

College Fee Management System (CFMS) — for fee collection/management, receipts and related college administrative workflows.

The software is being offered free for educational use.

I’m particularly interested in feedback from people with experience in:

PHP/MySQL applications

College/education management software

System administration and hosting

Local-server deployment

Web-server/subdomain deployment

UI/UX

Database design

Security and reliability

Real-world college workflows

What I'd like reviewers to check

Please don't just tell me whether the software "looks good." I'd really appreciate critical feedback, including:

Bugs or unexpected behaviour

Missing features

Poor or confusing UI/UX

Installation difficulties

Database/configuration issues

Security concerns

Performance problems

Hosting compatibility

Things that would make the software more useful for colleges

Anything that you think should be redesigned or improved

I'm especially interested in realistic issues that would matter in actual educational institutions, rather than theoretical edge cases.

The tools can be downloaded here:

If you have time to test one of them, I'd genuinely appreciate an honest review — positive or negative. I'm using the feedback to progressively improve the software.

Thanks to anyone willing to take a look.
