Backend
Built using Flask
Handles routing, authentication, and business logic
Uses SQLite for lightweight persistence

Database
Relational schema with three tables:
users – authentication data
tasks – user-specific tasks
attendance – subject attendance records
Automatically initialized on first run

Frontend
HTML templates with Jinja2
Styled using Bootstrap 5
Custom CSS for layout consistency

🚀 How It Works
User registers or logs in
Flask session tracks authenticated user
Users add tasks or attendance records
Data is stored securely in SQLite
Dashboard fetches and displays user-specific data
All database setup happens automatically on first launch.
