2 Scale (Products)
While there are plenty of other public officer/ education officer made products aggregated here, the following are the ones our team directly worked on with schools:
In particular, enabled by the help of a key volunteer software engineer, Rayner Loh as well as designer Natalie, we managed to launch Remarks Co-Pilot, our first full-stack web application on 1 Sep 2023 and onboard 700+ users with a NPS of +61.
Because of product tests done in partnership with educators, we put Remarks Co-Pilot into maintenance as of Dec 2023.
