Dlool is a digital and collaborative homework book.
Classical homework books have a lot of problems. These are some of them and how Dlool solves them:
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Some students work only digitally but still use a classical, analog homework book | Dlool is digital and a highly optimized drop-in replacement. |
| Everyone in a class writes down the same homework | Dlool is collaborative, all entries from one class are available for everyone. |
| They are not environmentally friendly, as they are discarded after just one year | Dlool is digital, eliminating the need for paper. |
| They are not very practical | Dlool is available on all devices. |
| Entries are not very structured | Dlool has a structured system for entering homework. |
| If you lose your homework book, all your data is gone forever | Dlool is digital, you can't lose it. |
| Every year you need a new homework book | Dlool can be used for multiple years. |
| Traditional homework books lock you into a specific brand | Dlool is free and open source. (With Dlool you can export your data to ical or todo.txt. Also, there is a way to sync Dlool with Apple Reminders.) (not yet implemented) |
| Homework, tests and notes are not separate | Dlool offers a distinct system for homework, tests, and notes. Everything is separated but still in one place and easy to find. |
