Plannter is a website that allows high school students to manage and plan their academic life. You can keep track of coursework, standardized tests, and extracurricular activities. It also allows you to prepare for college applications by creating a college list and starting essays.

I began development in January 2023, with the website only having a Coursework and an Activities section. It was originally written using HTML/Tailwind CSS/JavaScript until DSNS and I rewrote it using Next.js in September 2024. Now, Plannter has five different sections, a GPA calculator, an essay editor, and several other useful features.

The name "Plannter" is a portmanteau of the words "planner" and "plant." I also considered the name "Alumnac" (a portmanteau of "alumnus" and "almanac"), but I think "Plannter" fits the website's purpose better.
