Show HN: FireClass – Wrap Any Educational Website with Real-Time Classroom Tools

https://meir.world/fireClass-demo/
1•mlivneh•5h ago
Hi HN,

I’m a teacher and developer who wanted to bridge the gap between great web-based learning content and real classroom use. I built fireClass — a simple wrapper that lets you take any web-based educational tool (games, simulations, quizzes) and instantly run it in a live classroom setting with session management, real-time student data, and AI-powered feedback.

No vendor lock-in, no special integration — just add one line to a config file, and any site becomes “classroom-ready.” It works seamlessly with existing slide decks (PowerPoint, Google Slides) and requires no student accounts or passwords — just a name and a room code.

I’d love feedback, questions, or ideas — especially from teachers, edtech builders, or anyone who’s struggled to connect good content with real-time classroom workflows.

Demo: https://meir.world/fireClass-demo/

Thanks for reading!

Thanks everyone for checking this out!

One thing I’m planning next is a richer end-of-lesson reporting system for teachers. Right now, fireClass does real-time snapshot analysis and open-ended polling during the lesson — but I want to add a final, detailed synthesis report that combines all student responses (open-ended, multiple choice, yes/no) to help teachers plan the next lesson.

The goal is to show learning progress, common misunderstandings, and even “Aha!” moments that the AI detects during live interaction.

If you have ideas for what kind of insights teachers would find most helpful in a post-lesson report, I’d love to hear them!
