  • License: GPL-3.0-only for SplatWorksTM app code.

What you get

Three deployment paths

Pick the deployment that matches your needs and follow the matching setup guide. Install DrawSplatTM and whichever SplatWorksTM apps you need.

Path 1

Browser-only (no accounts)

Open index.html in any browser or upload the whole folder to a static host (Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, Netlify, S3, the district’s own web server). No backend, no data leaves the browser.

  • Best for individual teachers, demos, single-classroom use.
  • Filtering still runs client-side from compliance.config.json.
  • Standalone classroom widgets, including Quiz & Flashcard Studio, run fully in the browser and keep imported quiz/flashcard content local unless you export or share it.
Path 2

Google Apps Script (recommended for most districts)

Paste apps-script/Code.gs into a new Apps Script project bound to a Google Sheet, deploy as Web App, paste the deployment URL into Teacher Admin. Storage stays inside the district’s Google Workspace tenant.

  • Best for K–12 districts already on Google Workspace.
  • Full Compliance Console + Family Access Tools + District Privacy Packet.
  • Follow Apps Script Setup Guide.
Path 3

Self-hosted MySQL (Phase 4)

For districts that need a local database, real-time session enforcement, SSO/SIS sync (Clever scaffold included), stronger backend guardrails, and a parent portal. One docker compose up brings up MySQL + Node API.

  • Requires Docker (or Node 20+ & MySQL 8+).
  • OAuth (Google + Microsoft), RBAC tree (district/campus/teacher/student/parent).
  • Server-side safety filter, board freeze, age-band lock, time-limit enforcement (SSE push), retention cron, privacy packet generator.
  • Security headers, configurable CORS allowlist, rate limits, admin bootstrap controls, protected maintenance cleanup, room-key validation, and payload caps.
  • Follow MySQL Setup Guide.
