The name _Paper_ is an irone to what the software helps avoid.\n\n## With Paper Desktop you can:\n- Mark attendance the usual way - check or uncheck students to take attendance.\n- Keep a track of every student's attendance.\n- Monitor class attendance.\n- Periodically backup and export attendance records.\n\n## Running the software:\nThe software currently relies completely on an independent installation of MySQL Server for it's backend functionality. Hence, installation of MySQL Server is a pre-requisite. [Download MySQL Server Community Edition.](https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/)\u003cbr\u003e\n\n- Make sure that Python is added to path and `pip` is functional. To install the software dependencies open a new Terminal window in the software directory and type `pip install -r requirements.txt`. \n- Open the software folder in a code editor and edit `main.py`. Here, find the `server.connect(host=localhost, username=root, password=password)` function. Change the function parameters to that of your MySQL Server installation.\n- Save and execute `main.py` from the software directory.\n\n## License\nThe software is licensed under the GNU-AGPL version 3.0. You are free to use the software and it's code, but all variants of the software must use the same license.\n\n### Secure by default\n\u003cimg src='https://github.com/kmr-srbh/paper-desktop/assets/151380951/0a94852b-250b-4c27-9d26-31158d59a018' height='50%' width='50%'\u003e\n\n### Class management is easy\n\u003cimg src='https://github.com/kmr-srbh/paper-desktop/assets/151380951/27fda5e1-9778-4b1e-bc47-6563bca1bb02' height='50%' width='50%'\u003e\n\n### Taking attendance is a no time process\n\u003cimg src='https://github.com/kmr-srbh/paper-desktop/assets/151380951/e6285de1-79c1-410c-9a38-b9f86417451b' height='50%' width='50%'\u003e\n\n### Make amends for latecomers\n\u003cimg src='https://github.com/kmr-srbh/paper-desktop/assets/151380951/f7088267-0960-456c-b490-a25230bbd552' height='50%' width='50%'\u003e\n\n### Daily attendance reports\n\u003cimg src='https://github.com/kmr-srbh/paper-desktop/assets/151380951/e6bc15b5-5788-4e78-957f-1cad31820860' height='50%' width='50%'\u003e\n\n### Class attendance record in a glance\n\u003cimg src='https://github.com/kmr-srbh/paper-desktop/assets/151380951/efe3faa4-b528-4b00-9eb5-20cb7f6cda7c' height='50%' width='50%'\u003e\n\n### Every student is monitored\n\u003cimg src='https://github.com/kmr-srbh/paper-desktop/assets/151380951/d87d30d9-7539-4f3f-8cd2-bbed857b25d1' height='50%' width='50%'\u003e\n\n### Settings that save time...\n\u003cimg src='https://github.com/kmr-srbh/paper-desktop/assets/151380951/70621d93-d195-4946-9920-71239fa3dcaf' height='50%' width='50%'\u003e\n\n### ...and hard-work\n\u003cimg src='https://github.com/kmr-srbh/paper-desktop/assets/151380951/af93b7a3-1831-47f3-9bfd-22ac7a3bf87d' height='50%' width='50%'\u003e\n\n### Paper\n\u003cimg src='https://github.com/kmr-srbh/paper-desktop/assets/151380951/280d26bf-e3a1-45fe-ba34-100bd790b051' height='50%' width='50%'\u003e\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkmr-srbh%2Fpaper-desktop","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkmr-srbh%2Fpaper-desktop","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkmr-srbh%2Fpaper-desktop/lists"}
