About SeatSheet

Hi! I'm Lars, a teacher at a lower secondary school in Oslo. In the fall of 2024, I’d had enough of creating seating charts manually. It always took too much time and energy, and no matter how careful I was, I always forgot something. A student placed in two seats, someone sitting with the same partner again, or a combination that simply didn’t work. I looked for a tool to help, but couldn’t find anything that actually fit the way teachers work in real life. So I decided to build it myself.

SeatSheet started as a small side project in the evenings, but it quickly grew when I realized that many teachers found it useful. During the first year, thousands of teachers began using it, and it was clear that they were sharing it with each other all over the place. As I learned more about development, and with all those users as motivation, I rebuilt everything from scratch to make it as simple and flexible as possible.

I still develop SeatSheet in my spare time alongside my teaching job, and continue to improve it based on my own experience and feedback from teachers who use it every day.
