Show HN: The Class Placements Game

I’m (re)building a tool to help elementary schools place students into classes (original app still uses jQuery… porting to React).

Placing students into classes is kind of like a puzzle where the first kids are easy, but when you get close to the end, you realize your earlier placements need to be moved around endlessly. That’s why I wrote an algorithm to help.

Anyway, teachers tell me it’s kind of fun, so I made a game out of it! This game simplifies the process a lot in the name of getting something that’s solvable by hand and playable on a smartphone. Hope you enjoy.

This was good marketing! Gave up after 7 minutes. One feedback is to make the red cards with either a thicker border, or lighten the shade of red so it's a little easier to see
