Tech Stack:

Short Explanation

This project helped junior high school students in East Java register for senior high school. It handled over 1 million users during peak registration periods.

Project Goals

The objective is to provide information about PPDB (new student registration) for high schools in East Java. The website handles registration, generates proof of registration, announces acceptance results, prints test card numbers, and displays grades. It also uses geolocation to calculate distance from a student's house to the school.

Lesson Learned
