Forte is a web application designed to simplify hostel management for both administrators and students. The frontend is powered by Next.js and incorporates improvements from the DashUI template by Codescandy. The backend is built with Django.
This is the latest update, bringing a better user experience and streamlined processes. If you have feedback or suggestions for the latest improvements, please contact me.
For users who prefer the older React-based frontend, it is still available at https://fortebyphil.pythonanywhere.com/ but please note, that version is outdated and will not receive further updates.
- Effortless Accommodation Tracking: Easily manage room availability and track student occupancy.
- Convenient Room Management: Utilize a clear room numbering system to locate students quickly.
- Streamlined Staff Management: Add and manage staff to assist with daily hostel operations.
- Simplified Hostel Search: Find and book accommodation from a comprehensive list of hostels.
- Timely Rent Reminders: Receive automated notifications for rent due dates.
- Secure Payments: Forte integrates with Stripe for secure payment processing. Additional payment options will be available in future updates.
Note: This project uses a demo Stripe test account.
- If you're a hostel manager, choose the "demo Stripe account" option during hostel creation.
- If you're a student, when redirected to the Stripe test page, you can use a test card like
4242 4242 4242 4242.
